How Often to Change 1986 Isuzu Impulse Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1986 Isuzu Impulse? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond 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.”

Your 1986 Impulse’s oil should be changed according to Isuzu’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Impulse may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle 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 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.

1986 Isuzu Impulse Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Isuzu Impulse engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Impulse’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Isuzu oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 Impulse spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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 caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Isuzu Impulse? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Isuzu Impulse oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Isuzu Impulse oil light illuminated? Your Isuzu Impulse 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 Impulse? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Isuzu Impulse every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
