Not sure how or where to get your Buick Skyhawk’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.”
Your 1987 Skyhawk’s oil should be changed according to Buick’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Skyhawk in the above table. Outside of Buick-recommended oil change intervals, your Skyhawk may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Buick recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Buick Skyhawk. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1987 Buick Skyhawk motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Buick has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1987 Buick Skyhawk vehicles. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your Skyhawk’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Skyhawk by taking into account your driving habits, and mileage.
