What can low oil do to my Geo Storm engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Geo Storm engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Geo oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Geo Storm spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is 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, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

Why is the oil light on in my Geo Storm?

If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Geo Storm 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.

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Geo Storm?

Every time you change the oil in your Geo Storm, 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.

How Often to Change 1990 Geo Storm Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1990 Geo Storm? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Geo recommends changing your 1990 Storm’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Geo-recommended oil change intervals, your Storm 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 notice an unusual amount of 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. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Geo Storm. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 1990 Geo Storm?

Geo has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 1990 Storm.

During your oil change service, a technician will change your Storm's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
