How Often to Get 1989 Geo Prizm Oil Changes

Need more info about 1989 Geo Prizm oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. 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.”

Geo recommends changing your 1989 Prizm’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Geo-recommended oil change intervals, your Prizm may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Geo if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Geo Prizm. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 1989 Geo Prizm?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1989 Geo Prizm motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Geo has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 1989 Prizm. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your Prizm's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Prizm by considering your driving style, weather and road conditions,

1989 Geo Prizm Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Geo Prizm motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Prizm’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Geo Prizm 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Geo exhaust smoke gray 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 the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Geo Prizm oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Geo Prizm oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Geo Prizm oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Geo Prizm 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 Prizm's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Geo Prizm 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?
