When to Change 1989 Dodge Shadow Engine Oil

Need more info about 1989 Dodge Shadow oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 1989 Shadow’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Shadow in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Shadow may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Shadow. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Dodge Shadow Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1989 Dodge Shadow motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Dodge has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1989 Shadow. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your Shadow’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Shadow by taking into account your driving habits, weather and road conditions,

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1989 Dodge Shadow

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Shadow? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Dodge Shadow engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Dodge Shadow oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Shadow exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Dodge Shadow oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Dodge Shadow oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Dodge Shadow? The oil change light in your Dodge Shadow 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Dodge Shadow? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Dodge Shadow every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
