How Often to Change 1983 Chrysler Imperial Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Chrysler Imperial’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of 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.”

Chrysler recommends changing your 1983 Imperial’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Imperial in the above table. Outside of Chrysler-recommended oil change intervals, your Imperial 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 an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Chrysler recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chrysler Imperial. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
