How Often to Get 1986 Dodge Daytona Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Dodge Daytona’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of 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 1986 Daytona’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Daytona 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 notice excess 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 Daytona. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Dodge Daytona Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1986 Dodge Daytona motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Dodge has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1986 Dodge Daytona vehicles. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your Daytona’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Daytona by considering your driving habits, and mileage.

1986 Dodge Daytona Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Dodge Daytona motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Dodge Daytona engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge Daytona oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Dodge Daytona oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Dodge Daytona oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Dodge Daytona to illuminate? The oil change light in your Dodge Daytona 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.
  • Does my Daytona's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Dodge Daytona 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.
