Oldsmobile recommends changing your 1997 88’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 88 in the above table.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Oldsmobile 88. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
