Your 1983 Electra’s oil should be changed according to Buick’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Electra in the above table. Outside of Buick-recommended oil change intervals, your Electra may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock 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 Buick recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Buick Electra. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
