Your Chevy was built to last, but needs a little love and care along the way so you can get the most out of it! At Ressler Chevy dealership in Bozeman, we’re here to provide that extra level of care. Our Gallatin Valley Chevy dealer has a Chevy Service Center that can assist with all your maintenance needs, whether you need help with a check engine light or with preventive maintenance. We do oil changes on Chevys every day, and can assist with maintenance for Chevy’s newest trucks and SUVs, or vintage Corvettes. If you want to get the most from your vehicle, our Chevy-certified technicians are the best in the region. When you get an oil change with us, we’ll take stock of your vehicle, checking for other fluids that need topping up and filters that may need replacing. We aim to get you in and out as quickly as we can, without sacrificing quality. You can visit us without an appointment Monday through Saturday, or schedule your Express Service with us online.
A standard oil change can be knocked out in about half an hour, though that’s assuming no one else is ahead of you. Walk-in appointments may take longer if we’re busy, while our Chevy Express Service is designed to get you in and out the door as quickly as we can. After all, oil changes are one of the easiest and most important things you can do to get your Chevy Tahoe or Silverado 1500 up and running. Oil flows throughout your powertrain, helping keep all your components working properly. It reduces friction and temperature, which in turn increases efficiency and longevity. It also keeps your engine clean by absorbing dirt and grime that builds up in the engine over time. As your oil circulates through your powertrain, it changes from a translucent yellow to a darker color and can become thicker due to contaminants. Make sure you’re keeping your engine clean with Ressler Chevrolet in Bozeman.
As your oil collects dirt and particles, it thickens and becomes less effective. If you don’t change the dirty oil for clean oil, it starts to thicken, making it harder to absorb any more particles and to keep friction down. If you have a newer Chevy that takes synthetic oil, it should get an oil change every 10,000 miles, while older models may need an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles if they use conventional oil. If you put an oil change off for too long, you’ll lose performance and efficiency. If left for too long, you’ll find your vehicle running at higher temperatures, which could eventually lead to oil burning. If you notice smoke or a knocking coming from your engine, it might be oil-related. Visit our Bozeman Chevy dealer to stay ahead of any potential issues.
Not sure what type of oil I should use in my car? Usually, there are four distinct offerings. Conventional oil is the more affordable option, but it doesn’t last as long. Synthetic oil lasts longer but costs more. It’s typically what new Chevys use. We’ve broken down the main categories below:
