Isuzu recommends having your 1997 Isuzu Trooper’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Trooper may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of 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. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Isuzu Trooper. 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.

1997 Isuzu Trooper Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Isuzu Trooper? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Isuzu Trooper 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 Trooper oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Isuzu Trooper spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Isuzu Trooper oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Isuzu Trooper oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Isuzu Trooper oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Isuzu Trooper 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.
  • Does my Trooper's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? 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.
