When to Change 1996 Isuzu Hombre Engine Oil

Need more info about 1996 Isuzu Hombre oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. 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.”

Isuzu recommends having your 1996 Isuzu Hombre’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Hombre may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Isuzu recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Isuzu Hombre. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My Isuzu Hombre Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1996 Isuzu Hombre motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Isuzu has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 1996 Hombre. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Hombre's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Hombre by considering your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1996 Isuzu Hombre Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Isuzu Hombre? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Hombre’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Isuzu Hombre oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Isuzu Hombre exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Isuzu Hombre oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Isuzu Hombre oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Isuzu Hombre oil light illuminated? Your Isuzu Hombre oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Isuzu Hombre? You should replace your Isuzu Hombre during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
