Dodge recommends having your 1987 Dodge 600’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your 600 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge 600. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1987 Dodge 600 Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Dodge 600 motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Dodge 600 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
