Why check the motor oil level in my Isuzu i-290?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your i-290’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 Isuzu 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. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Isuzu exhaust smoke gray or blue?

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 the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Who does Isuzu i-290 oil changes?

What can cause the oil light on my Isuzu i-290 to illuminate?

Your Isuzu i-290 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.

Do I need to change my i-290's oil filter when I get an oil change?

It's recommended that you replace your Isuzu i-290 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.

How Often to Change 2008 Isuzu i-290 Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2008 Isuzu i-290? Turn to 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.

Isuzu recommends changing your 2008 i-290’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your i-290 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 Isuzu 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 Isuzu i-290. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
