Oil Changes for 1988 Buick LeSabre

Not sure how or where to get your Buick LeSabre’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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.”

Buick recommends having your 1988 Buick LeSabre’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your LeSabre 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 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 drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Buick LeSabre. 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 1988 Buick LeSabre motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Buick has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 1988 LeSabre. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During your oil change service, a technician will change your LeSabre's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your LeSabre by considering your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
