Isuzu recommends having your 1986 Isuzu Trooper’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Isuzu-recommended oil change intervals, your Trooper may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Isuzu Trooper. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1986 Isuzu Trooper Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Isuzu Trooper motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Trooper’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Isuzu oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Isuzu Trooper spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who does Isuzu Trooper oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Isuzu Trooper oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Isuzu Trooper oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Isuzu Trooper 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.
  • Do I need to replace my Trooper’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Isuzu Trooper 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.
