Oil Change Q&A for Your 1989 Dodge B250

  • Should I check my Dodge B250 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your B250’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge B250 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

  • Why is the oil light on in my Dodge B250? Your Dodge B250 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.

  • Does my B250's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Dodge B250 every time you change the oil.
