Need more info about 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Alfa Romeo recommends having your 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Spider may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Alfa Romeo recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Alfa Romeo Spider. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Alfa Romeo has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1986 Spider. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, a technician will change your Spider's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Spider by considering your driving preferences, and odometer.
