Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2023 Chevrolet Express Cargo 3500?

• Preserves engine performance: fresh oil lubricates the 4.3L V6, reducing friction and helping the engine deliver its rated 276 hp and 298 lb-ft of torque consistently.
• Prevents wear and sludge buildup: regular oil and filter service removes contaminants that accelerate component wear, especially important for cargo van duty cycles and heavy loads.
• Protects towing capability: clean oil helps maintain cooling and lubrication under heavy towing loads—critical for a vehicle rated for up to 10,000 lbs towing capacity.
• Maximizes fuel efficiency: well-lubricated moving parts reduce drag and help the engine run more efficiently, lowering operating costs over time.
• Maintains resale value and warranty compliance: routine service records performed at a certified dealership support vehicle value and ensure repairs covered under warranty are honored—warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.

How often should you get an oil change for a 2023 Chevrolet Express Cargo 3500?

• Follow the owner’s manual and oil life monitor: Chevrolet recommends following the vehicle’s oil life system and owner’s manual for the most accurate interval.
• Typical interval guidance: for many drivers, an interval of about 7,500 miles or 12 months is common when using full synthetic oils; conventional oil or severe-duty operation may require service every 3,000–5,000 miles.
• Severe use considerations: frequent towing, heavy payloads, idling, or short trips increase oil degradation—under these conditions, shorten intervals to protect the 4.3L V6.
• Dealer maintenance tracking: our service team logs each visit, helps monitor intervals, and will notify you when the next service is due to preserve engine life and warranty coverage.
