Keep reading to discover how often you really need to get your oil changed. How often you should change the oil in your Chevy depends on whether it is under warranty and your regular driving conditions. more When Your Vehicle Is Under Warranty To prevent voiding your powertrain warranty, you should adhere to the guidelines offered in your owner's manual.

Examples of severe conditions include: Driving for long distances at low speeds Towing trailers for long distances Track driving Short trips in normal temperatures of no more than five miles Stop-and-go driving in extremely hot weather Short trips in freezing temperatures of no more than 10 miles Driving on gravel, salty, muddy, dusty, or sandy roads When You Drive in Normal Conditions If your Chevy does not come with an oil-life monitor, your powertrain warranty has expired and you drive in normal conditions, you should change your oil every 5,000 miles.

There are several options to choose from when it comes to replacing your Buick parts. Some are good ideas while others, not so much. If you want to be sure your Buick performs optimally, keep reading to learn about our recommendations on obtaining high-quality parts. OEM Parts Only If you're replacing a part or even an accessory in your Buick vehicle, be sure to use original equipment manufacturer parts (OEM). Not only are these parts covered with Buick's industry-leading warranty, but they've also undergone a strenuous testing protocol, which means they're certified to last and likely won't break or malfunction. With OEM parts, you can be sure that your vehicle is getting the part it needs, and wants! more Avoid Online Discount Sites You've probably seen them when searching online for auto parts. Discount websites that offer the part you need, that sells a few bucks cheaper than the same OEM part. While this may seem appealing on the surface, there's plenty of underlying issues they don't mention. First, that aftermarket part could void your vehicle's warranty altogether. Second, it's not backed by Buick's warranty or any warranty for that matter. So if it malfunctions - which is likely - you'll be picking up the tab. Absolutely No Used OEM Parts Putting a used part - OEM or not - in your vehicle is a recipe for trouble. Like aftermarket parts, used OEM parts offer little guarantees when it comes to warranty coverage and can risk the warranty of your vehicle as well. Furthermore, the current level of wear and tear they have will likely cause it to break sooner than expected, and result in other areas of your engine working hard than they should. Ensure an investment as important as your Buick gets new OEM parts at all times. Shop For Parts at Your Local Buick Dealership The parts department at your local Buick Dealership can provide you with any OEM part your vehicle needs. It also has a wide range of OEM accessories for you to choose from to personalize your vehicle. You'll always get new parts at the best possible value when buying from an authorized Buick dealership and their factory-trained technicians will always install them according to the manufacturer's specifications. Check For Parts Specials Once in a while, your local Buick dealership may have specials on OEM engine parts, OEM accessories, motor oils, and more. You can check their website once in a while or ask them to notify you when items or services go on sale. These offers normally have an expiry date so be sure to act quickly and take advantage of the savings. Regular Maintenance is Key While it's always great to know how to access quality OEM parts for your Buick, the less you have to do that, the better. Keeping up with routine service appointments is the best way to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly for a longer period. It also allows you to get a first-hand look at new parts and accessories at your local Buick service center. Stop by Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC for all of your automotive needs!

If you're looking for a stunning mid-sized SUV then the 2021 Chevy Blazer is one to pay attention to. It stands out from the crowd; drivers praise it in various ways that make it a highly popular pick. We're going to examine some of those standout features now to see how wonderful people really find this agile SUV. 1. It Handles Beautifully SUVs are larger than some other vehicles you'll find, and that leads to less than smooth handling. They're never unpleasant to drive, but they just don't have that agility that other vehicles have. The Chevy Blazer, though, is different. It's car-based which makes handling easier and makes the components of the SUV lighter. Most SUVs lack this as they're truck-based, heavy, and difficult to deal with at times. With the Chevy Blazer, you can glide effortlessly down streets and around corners. It's perfect for beginner drivers who need an easy ride. It's also a perfect starter SUV for people who've been driving sedans and coupes forever. Drivers compare the handling to a sports coupe - that's some really high praise. more 2. It's Spacious You can expect the top-notch performance outlined above no matter how packed the car is - and it can get very crowded in here, but only in the cargo area. That's because there are 30.5 cubic feet of space you can cram gear into without compromising on the Chevy Blazer's performance. This is perfect for a large bulk shopping spree, and more than enough for your everyday tasks. If the space turns out to be too little for one of your ventures, that's fine. You can more than double it. Lay the rear seats flat and that lets you have 64.2 cubic feet to fill. This is more than some competitor models of the same size; you're really getting your money's worth with the Chevy Blazer. The vehicle provides even more value when you realize you can tow 4,500 pounds, too, even with a full cargo space. 3. It's Fantastically Safe You can't beat a vehicle that adds safety features into the mix. While you have keen eyes that can keep you safe on the roads, you're not perfect - nobody is. So, the Chevy Blazer helps make you perfect by assisting you on your journeys. There are standard safety features that anyone will love including emergency brakes and a rearview camera. The vehicle also features seven airbags throughout so if something does happen you're very safe. If you want even more safety in it you can upgrade beyond the standard trim. This will get you tons of features, including many that are fantastic for beginner drivers. All the lane-keeping assistance features will help any nervous or unsteady driver stay in the center of the lane. It's also great for expert drivers who want some additional peace of mind. Has this stunning SUV caught your attention? Come and see it in person. Visit us at Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC, and we'll get you behind the wheel and have you powering down the road on your test drive in no time.

The GMC Sierra has always been known for its eye-catching style and impressive capabilities. Available as a 1500 or Heavy Duty pickup truck, the 2021 Sierra is no exception. You might be wondering which Sierra model is right for you. Let's explore the similarities and differences between the Sierra 1500 and the Sierra Heavy Duty. Trim Levels The Sierra 1500 and Sierra Heavy Duty are both available in three trim levels: SLT, AT4, and Denali. Both lineups feature GMC's MultiPro Tailgate, the first of its kind. With six configurations, the state-of-the-art tailgate makes it easier to load and unload cargo while giving you extra workspace. When you look at the Sierra 1500 and Sierra Heavy Duty, you'll notice that they both come with intricately designed wheels, stunning chrome accents, and C-shaped taillights. You'll also see that each Heavy Duty trim level is slightly larger and has more ground clearance than its 1500 counterpart. more Towing Capacity Because the Sierra Heavy Duty is larger than the Sierra 1500, it can accommodate a more powerful engine. For example, the Sierra 1500 Denali comes equipped with a 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel engine, while the Heavy Duty Denali has a 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel. With its larger and more powerful engine, the Heavy Duty Denali can tow up to 36,000 pounds. The Sierra 1500 Denali has an 11,800-pound towing capacity, which is still pretty impressive. Technology GMC equips the Sierra 1500 and the Sierra Heavy Duty with impressive technology. Both models offer a 15-inch multi-color head-up display that gives you vital driving information like vehicle speed, fuel levels, and turn-by-turn navigation without distracting you from the road. The GMC Infotainment System is also available in the 1500 and Heavy Duty models. The system features wireless smartphone integration, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot, and customizable driver profiles. With SiriusXM radio, you can listen to more than 90 commercial-free music channels and catch up on sports and talk radio. The Sierra Heavy Duty models add a MultiPro audio system that integrates with the MultiPro tailgate. With this 100-watt exterior audio system, you can listen to your music while camping or tailgating, and you don't have to leave your truck running. ProGrade Trailering System With GMC's Prograde Trailering System, it's easy to tow whether you're driving the Sierra 1500 or the Sierra Heavy Duty. The system's in-vehicle trailering app monitors trailer tire pressure, tests the trailer lights, and lets you create pre-departure checklists. The system also alerts you to situations that can lead to jackknifing, monitors your trailer's blind spots, and gives you rear and side views. Intelligent Safety Features Both the Sierra 1500 and Sierra Heavy Duty give you the intelligent safety features you need to drive with confidence. With adaptive cruise control, you can set your preferred cruising speed, and the system will adjust it if traffic starts to slow. Intellibeam headlights brighten and dim automatically, so you don't have to constantly fiddle with your headlight settings. When it's time to teach younger family members how to drive, you'll appreciate the Sierra's teen driver technology. As you can see, there's a lot to love about the Sierra 1500 and the Sierra Heavy Duty. Take a test drive here at Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC and see which model is right for you.

That starts by offering more camera angles than any competitor can, giving you unprecedented awareness of your surroundings.  You'll also get advanced sensors that ensure your cargo is in good condition, with trailering tech displayed conveniently on your console. Durabed Capability You'll also get the most capable truck bed on the market when you drive the Silverado 1500, with all the functions Chevy's Durabed system offers. With twelve standard tie-downs, you'll have twice as many as any competitor's truck will give you to work with.

Dependable Safety Keeping you secure is Chevy's strong suit, so you'll have a whole range of safety features in the Silverado 1500 to give you the peace of mind you deserve. The forward collision alert system uses cameras and sensors to detect an impending collision, giving you a visual and audio warning to keep you alert.

Configured to Your Needs Every truck driver's needs are different, and there's a Silverado 1500 configuration to match every set of needs. Take the 22-inch wheels on the High Country 4x4 trim level, for instance, that help you stand out from the crowd even further. Off-roaders will love the LT Trail Boss, which comes with a factory lift kit that lets you sit tall when you're riding on your next adventure. Want to see more of what the Silverado 1500 has to offer you? We can get you behind the wheel of one for a test drive when you stop by at our dealership.
