When to Change 1991 Dodge W250 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1991 Dodge W250? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Dodge recommends changing your 1991 W250’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your W250 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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 areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge W250. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1991 Dodge W250 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge W250? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your W250’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Dodge W250? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Dodge W250 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Dodge W250 to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Dodge W250 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my W250's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Dodge W250 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
