When to Change 1991 Chevrolet Astro Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1991 Chevrolet Astro? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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.”

Chevrolet recommends changing your 1991 Astro’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Astro in the above table. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Astro may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Chevrolet if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chevrolet Astro. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
