How long has it been since your last GMC oil change? If you haven’t replaced the oil in your engine in a while, you’ll want to get it replaced ahead of summer. But if you’re not sure how often you need to change oil, the McGuire Buick GMC has the information you need. New Trucks If you’re driving a new GMC truck, you don’t need to change your oil too often. It’s generally recommended to change your oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or a year after your last change, whichever comes first. The exact specifications may depend on the type of oil you use and how much you’ve used the vehicle. For a more concrete figure, consult your owner’s manual or one of our experts. Older Trucks Drivers who have been driving their truck for a long time or have recently purchased a used GMC model should change their oil a little more frequently. Used trucks may require an oil change every 3,000 or 5,000 miles. Again, your owner’s manual can provide a more specific time period that you should follow. Why Should I Change My Oil? Delaying an oil change can put your engine at risk of overheating, which is no fun for any driver. Your oil quality will naturally worsen over time, as it will thicken or get dirty – which makes it harder for your engine to run smoothly. Used oil also becomes grimier over time, which can cause a clog in the system.

Keeping up with regular Buick service means addressing fluid intake issues as they arise. Leaks should be addressed promptly, as leaking fluids are a major performance and safety concern. As part of our Buick Service Tips series at McGuire Buick GMC, here’s how to deal with leaking fluid. Identify Your Fluid Leak Your Buick vehicle might detect a lack of fluid in a tank and display a warning on your dashboard. However, it’s always a good habit to check your regular parking spot for any wet patches or leaking fluid. If you can, try to identify the exact fluid. Oil will typically be black or brown, while coolant might be pink or green depending on your model. Refill a Minor Fluid Leak Leaks come in all shapes and sizes, and not every leak is an immediate critical danger. If there’s only a few drips per hour, for example, you can typically get away with refilling your tank as a temporary fix. You should still schedule a service appointment for a more permanent fix, but in these instances, you can usually drive your car as normal until you can come in for service – just be sure to keep a close eye on the issue. Fixing a Major Leak Major fluid leaks are a critical safety problem, and you should not drive any car where a fluid is leaking excessively. In this case, it’s best to call for a professional to look at your vehicle or call a tow truck to bring it to our service center. You don’t want to risk a malfunction on the road because of a large leak. Schedule Buick Service for Fluids in Little Falls, NJ If you need immediate Buick service for one or more of your fluids, our team can help you.
