Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD?

• Protects the 6.0L V8 engine by removing contaminants and replenishing lubrication that reduces friction and wear.
• Maintains horsepower and towing capability—clean oil helps the engine run cooler and preserve rated torque when hauling heavy loads.
• Improves fuel economy and reduces emissions, delivering immediate savings at the pump and long-term savings through longer engine life.
• Preserves resale value by documenting factory-recommended maintenance performed with OEM fluids and filters at a certified dealership.
• At Coggin Buick/GMC of Orange Park, factory-trained technicians use manufacturer-recommended oils and parts; repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to protect coverage.

How long does a 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD oil change take?

• Typical service time ranges from 30 to 60 minutes for an oil-and-filter change when handled as a scheduled service.
• For a 6.0L V8 with a full multi-point inspection or additional fluid top-offs, plan for 45 to 90 minutes to allow thorough checks and quality control.
• Appointments reduce wait time; Coggin Buick/GMC offers efficient scheduling, express lanes, and the option for same-day service depending on availability.
• Factory-trained technicians complete work to OEM standards and document service history—essential because warranty-covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership.

• Costs vary by oil type and service level: typical ranges run from roughly $69 for a conventional service to $149 or more for full synthetic and heavy-duty packages.
• Because the 6.0L V8 often performs best with synthetic oil, expect pricing near the upper part of that range; Coggin Buick/GMC posts current offers at the service specials page.

• If you tow regularly, carry heavy loads, or operate in severe conditions, shorten intervals to 3,000–5,000 miles to protect the 6.0L V8 and transmission.
