How Often to Get 1996 Isuzu Rodeo Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Isuzu Rodeo’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 1996 Rodeo’s oil should be changed according to Isuzu’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Isuzu-recommended oil change intervals, your Rodeo may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Isuzu Rodeo. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 1996 Isuzu Rodeo?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1996 Isuzu Rodeo motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Isuzu has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1996 Rodeo. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, one of our techs will change your Rodeo’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Rodeo by taking into account your driving style, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1996 Isuzu Rodeo Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Isuzu Rodeo? 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 eventually lead to Isuzu Rodeo engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Isuzu Rodeo oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Isuzu Rodeo exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Isuzu Rodeo oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Isuzu Rodeo oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Isuzu Rodeo oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Isuzu Rodeo oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Isuzu Rodeo? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Isuzu Rodeo 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?
