Your 1989 Daytona’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Daytona in the above table.

You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Dodge if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.
