Oil Changes for 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser

Need more info about 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2003 PT Cruiser’s oil should be changed according to Chrysler’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your PT Cruiser in the above table. Outside of Chrysler-recommended oil change intervals, your PT Cruiser 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 Chrysler if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Chrysler PT Cruiser. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Chrysler has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2003 PT Cruiser. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your PT Cruiser’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
