Buick recommends having your 1992 Buick Century’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Century in the above table. Your Century may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Buick Century. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
