Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1988 Chevrolet R30? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just 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.”
Your 1988 R30’s oil should be changed according to Chevrolet’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your R30 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Chevrolet recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Chevrolet R30. 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.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1988 Chevrolet R30 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Chevrolet has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1988 R30. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine.

You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving habits, local climate,
