When to Change 1986 Chrysler New Yorker Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Chrysler New Yorker’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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 1986 New Yorker’s oil should be changed according to Chrysler’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your New Yorker 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 car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Chrysler if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chrysler New Yorker. 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.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Chrysler New Yorker?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1986 Chrysler New Yorker motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Chrysler has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 1986 New Yorker. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, maintain proper engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your New Yorker’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your New Yorker by considering your driving preferences, and mileage.

1986 Chrysler New Yorker Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Chrysler New Yorker motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Chrysler New Yorker engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chrysler New Yorker oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Chrysler New Yorker exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Chrysler New Yorker oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Chrysler New Yorker oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Chrysler New Yorker to illuminate? Your Chrysler New Yorker oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to change my New Yorker's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Chrysler New Yorker oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
