Your 1985 Somerset Regal’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 Somerset Regal may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Buick Somerset Regal. 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.

1985 Buick Somerset Regal Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Buick Somerset Regal motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Buick Somerset Regal engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Buick oil on my own? 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 changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Buick Somerset Regal exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Buick Somerset Regal oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Buick Somerset Regal 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 Somerset Regal oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Buick Somerset Regal 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 change my Somerset Regal's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Buick Somerset Regal every time you change the oil.
