1997 Oldsmobile Aurora Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Oldsmobile Aurora motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Oldsmobile Aurora engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Oldsmobile Aurora oil at home? 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.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Aurora exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Oldsmobile Aurora oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Oldsmobile Aurora oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Oldsmobile Aurora to illuminate? Your Oldsmobile Aurora oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Aurora's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Oldsmobile Aurora 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.
