How Often to Change 1983 Fiat 124 Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Fiat 124’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 1983 124’s oil should be changed according to Fiat’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your 124 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Fiat 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 Fiat 124. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Fiat 124?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1983 Fiat 124 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Fiat has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1983 124. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your 124’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your 124 by considering your driving habits, and odometer.

1983 Fiat 124 Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Fiat 124 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Fiat 124 engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Fiat oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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 Fiat 124 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Fiat 124 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Fiat 124 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.
  • Why is my Fiat 124 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Fiat 124 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 124's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Fiat 124 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.
