How Often to Get 1985 Dodge B150 Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1985 Dodge B150? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just 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.”

Dodge recommends changing your 1985 B150’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your B150 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Dodge if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge B150. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
