Isuzu recommends having your 1988 Isuzu Impulse’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Impulse may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Isuzu Impulse. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1988 Isuzu Impulse

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Isuzu Impulse? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Impulse’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Isuzu Impulse oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil 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? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Isuzu Impulse oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Isuzu Impulse oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Isuzu Impulse oil light comes on? 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?
