Your 1996 LeSabre’s oil should be changed according to Buick’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your LeSabre in the above table. No matter the mileage, your LeSabre may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess 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 at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm 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.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1996 Buick LeSabre

  • What can low oil do to my Buick LeSabre engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Buick LeSabre engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Buick LeSabre oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Buick LeSabre exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Buick LeSabre oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Buick LeSabre oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Buick LeSabre oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Buick LeSabre could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Buick LeSabre? You should replace your Buick LeSabre during each oil change.
