Help your 1983 Oldsmobile 98 run newer, longer with routine oil changes. Schedule your oil change appointment today.
Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1983 Oldsmobile 98? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just 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.”
Oldsmobile recommends changing your 1983 98’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your 98 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Oldsmobile if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Oldsmobile 98. 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.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1983 Oldsmobile 98 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Oldsmobile has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1983 Oldsmobile 98 vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your 98’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your 98 by taking into account your driving habits, and mileage.
