Oil Change Q&A for Your 2006 Dodge Magnum

  • What can low oil do to my Dodge Magnum engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Dodge Magnum engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Dodge Magnum oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Magnum exhaust smoke grayish 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, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Dodge Magnum oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Dodge Magnum oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Dodge Magnum oil light illuminated? Your Dodge Magnum oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to change my Magnum's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Dodge Magnum every time you change the oil.
