Your 2003 Park Avenue’s oil should be changed according to Buick’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Park Avenue may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

2003 Buick Park Avenue Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Buick Park Avenue? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Buick Park Avenue engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Buick Park Avenue oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly 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 caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Buick Park Avenue? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Buick Park Avenue 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.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Buick Park Avenue to illuminate? The oil change light in your Buick Park Avenue 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.
  • Do I need to replace my Park Avenue’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your Buick Park Avenue, 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.
