What can low oil do to my Isuzu Pickup engine?

When to Change 1986 Isuzu Pickup Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Isuzu Pickup’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 1986 Pickup’s oil should be changed according to Isuzu’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics 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 knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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 drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Isuzu Pickup. 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.

What Type of Oil Does My Isuzu Pickup Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1986 Isuzu Pickup motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Isuzu has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1986 Pickup. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Pickup’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Pickup by taking into account your driving style, and odometer.
