When to Change 2006 Buick Lucerne Engine Oil

Need more info about 2006 Buick Lucerne oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2006 Lucerne’s oil should be changed according to Buick’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Lucerne may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Buick Lucerne. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2006 Buick Lucerne

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Buick Lucerne? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Buick Lucerne engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Buick Lucerne oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Buick exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Buick Lucerne? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Buick Lucerne oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Buick Lucerne oil light illuminated? Your Buick Lucerne oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Lucerne's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Buick Lucerne during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
