How Often Do I Need to Get an Oil Change in my Chevy Suburban?

To keep your Chevy Suburban at peak performance, you must get an oil change every 7,000 – 10,000 miles, at least. To ensure you are doing this, keep track of the miles on your odometer every time you get an oil change, or set a reminder to get your oil changed every 3-6 months. To know the specific intervals between recommended oil changes, refer to your Owner’s Manual in your Suburban or contact us at Dan Cummins Auto Group to consult with a factory-certified service technician.

What Kind of Oil Goes into a Suburban?

Before you go get an oil change, you should know the correct oil type to request at the time of service. We recommend asking for 0W-20 synthetic oil, and the amount we use varies based on the engine size. The engine types and correct oil types for the 2022 Chevrolet Suburban are:

• 3.0L six-cylinder Diesel Turbo engine uses 7 quarts.
• 5.3L eight-cylinder engine uses 8 quarts.
• 6.2L eight-cylinder engine uses 8 quarts.

To be positive you are requesting the correct amount and type of oil, consult your Owner’s Manual. You also may need high-mileage oil if your Suburban is over 75,000 miles. High-mileage oil conditions degraded oil seals, dissolves sludge from other oils, improves your fuel efficiency, reduces loss of oil from burn-off, and reduces overall damage on old engines in your Suburban.

What are the Differences Between Conventional and Synthetic Motor Oil?

Synthetic oil is better for your Suburban’s engine than conventional oil. Because synthetic oils use higher quality base oils, they combat sludge, reduce wear, and protect against harsh temperatures better than conventional oils. Although synthetic oil usually has a higher price tag, it is more economical because it lasts longer and increases the longevity of your engine.
If you want to switch from using conventional oil to synthetic oil, it is okay in most cases, but it’s always a good idea to talk to a professional beforehand. Our factory-certified service technicians at Dan Cummins Auto Group would be happy to help; just give them a call at 859-340-1340 and they will answer any questions you may have about your Chevrolet Suburban’s motor oil.

Why Should I Change my Oil in my Chevrolet Suburban?

Regular oil changes are vital to the health of your engine. They have many benefits, which include:

• Preventing engine part corrosion – Motor oil is designed to reduce oxidation and wear on engine parts.
• Helping to reduce engine heat – When engine parts rub together, they create friction which causes heat. This excess heat can lead to potentially catastrophic engine failure. Motor oil dissipates this heat and pulls it away from the engine.
• Improves the Suburban’s fuel efficiency – Because the parts are rubbing together less, less force is used by the engine to propel the vehicle forward. This results in less money spent at the fuel pump.
• Prevents harmful emissions – If you’re always looking for ways to be eco-friendly, one great way is to get regular oil changes. When oil gets old and dirty, it creates harmful emissions. Clean motor oil’s emissions are much less harmful.

Those are just some of the benefits of getting regular oil changes for your Chevy Suburban at Dan Cummins Auto Group. If you’re ready to schedule a service appointment, click here.
