When to Change 1998 Isuzu Rodeo Engine Oil

Need more info about 1998 Isuzu Rodeo oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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.

Isuzu recommends having your 1998 Isuzu Rodeo’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Rodeo may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. 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.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1998 Isuzu Rodeo

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Isuzu Rodeo? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Isuzu Rodeo engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Isuzu Rodeo oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might 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 also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Isuzu Rodeo spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Isuzu Rodeo? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Isuzu Rodeo oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Isuzu Rodeo oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Isuzu Rodeo could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Rodeo's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Isuzu Rodeo oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
