GMC recommends changing your 1998 Sonoma’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Sonoma in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Sonoma may need its oil changed ASAP 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 GMC recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your GMC Sonoma. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1998 GMC Sonoma motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. GMC has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 1998 Sonoma.

You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving style, weather and road conditions,
