1986 Dodge D350 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Dodge D350 motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Dodge D350 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge D350 oil at home? 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge D350 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who does Dodge D350 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Dodge D350 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.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Dodge D350 to illuminate? The oil change light in your Dodge D350 could be triggered by an overdue oil change.

  • Do I need to replace my D350’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Dodge D350 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
