When to Change 1987 Isuzu Impulse Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Isuzu Impulse’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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.”

Your 1987 Impulse’s oil should be changed according to Isuzu’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Impulse in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Impulse 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 notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Isuzu if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Isuzu Impulse. 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 Impulse Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1987 Isuzu Impulse motor oil: either synthetic or conventional.

In an oil change service, a technician will change your Impulse's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Impulse by taking into account your driving habits, and odometer.

1987 Isuzu Impulse Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Isuzu Impulse engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Isuzu Impulse 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? 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Isuzu Impulse exhaust smoke grayish 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, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Isuzu Impulse oil changes? 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? The oil change light in your Isuzu Impulse could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Isuzu Impulse? 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.
