Why check the motor oil level in my Oldsmobile Achieva?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Oldsmobile Achieva engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Oldsmobile oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
