Chevrolet recommends having your 1985 Chevrolet Nova’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Nova 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 vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Chevrolet Nova. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
