Isuzu recommends changing your 1983 Pickup’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Pickup in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Pickup may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of 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 Pickup. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
