Isuzu recommends changing your 1988 I-Mark’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your I-Mark may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Isuzu I-Mark. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
