What can low oil do to my Buick LeSabre engine?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your LeSabre’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Buick LeSabre oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Buick exhaust smoke gray or blue?

Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Buick LeSabre to illuminate?

If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Buick LeSabre oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.

Do I need to replace my LeSabre’s oil filter when changing my oil?

Every time you change the oil in your Buick LeSabre, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.

How Often to Change 1998 Buick LeSabre Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1998 Buick LeSabre? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Buick recommends changing your 1998 LeSabre’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Buick-recommended oil change intervals, your LeSabre may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Buick recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Buick LeSabre. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
