Dodge recommends having your 1988 Dodge Dynasty’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Dynasty may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Dynasty. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

  • Why is my Dodge Dynasty exhaust smoke grayish or blue? 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 damaged cylinder walls.
