Chrysler recommends having your 1996 Chrysler Town & Country’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Chrysler-recommended oil change intervals, your Town & Country may need an oil change 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 Chrysler recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Chrysler Town & Country. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1996 Chrysler Town & Country Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Chrysler Town & Country engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Chrysler Town & Country engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Chrysler oil on my own? 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 with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Chrysler Town & Country exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Chrysler Town & Country? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Chrysler Town & Country oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Chrysler Town & Country? The oil change light in your Chrysler Town & Country could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Chrysler Town & Country? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Chrysler Town & Country every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
