No matter the mileage, your Axiom may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Isuzu Axiom. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
