How often should I change the oil in a Chevrolet Express 2500?

Most Chevrolet service manuals recommend oil changes every 5,000â€“7,500 miles under normal driving conditions. Severe conditions (towing, extreme temperatures, stop-and-go traffic) may require more frequent changes. Verify with your owner's manual for the exact interval.
