Dodge recommends having your 1989 Dodge Spirit’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Spirit 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Spirit. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
