Isuzu recommends changing your 1987 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 engine knocking, 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, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm 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.

1987 Isuzu Pickup Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Isuzu Pickup engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Isuzu Pickup 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. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Isuzu Pickup exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Isuzu Pickup oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Isuzu Pickup 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.
  • What does it mean if my Isuzu Pickup oil light comes on? Your Isuzu Pickup oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to change my Pickup's oil filter when I get an oil change? You should replace your Isuzu Pickup 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.
