How Often to Change 1983 Isuzu Impulse Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Isuzu Impulse’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about 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 changing your 1983 Impulse’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Isuzu-recommended oil change intervals, your Impulse may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Isuzu if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Isuzu Impulse. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Isuzu Impulse Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1983 Isuzu Impulse motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Isuzu has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1983 Isuzu Impulse vehicles. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your Impulse’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential 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 Impulse by considering your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1983 Isuzu Impulse

  • Should I check my Isuzu Impulse motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Isuzu Impulse engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Isuzu Impulse oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform 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. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Isuzu Impulse? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Isuzu Impulse oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Isuzu Impulse? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Isuzu Impulse oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to change my Impulse's oil filter when I get an oil change? You should replace your Isuzu Impulse 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.
