Buick recommends having your 1989 Buick Electra’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Electra in the above table. Your Electra may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage 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.
