Fiat recommends changing your 1983 X-1/9’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your X-1/9 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your X-1/9 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Fiat recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Fiat X-1/9.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1983 Fiat X-1/9

  • What can low oil do to my Fiat X-1/9 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Fiat X-1/9 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 X-1/9 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 professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Fiat exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Fiat X-1/9 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Fiat X-1/9 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 Fiat X-1/9? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Fiat X-1/9 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.
  • Do I need to change my X-1/9's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Fiat X-1/9, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
