Dodge recommends having your 1985 Dodge Diplomat’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Diplomat may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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 terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Diplomat. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1985 Dodge Diplomat motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Dodge has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 1985 Diplomat. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your Diplomat’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Diplomat by considering your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.
