Oldsmobile recommends having your 1986 Oldsmobile Calais’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Calais in the above table. Outside of Oldsmobile-recommended oil change intervals, your Calais may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Oldsmobile if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Oldsmobile Calais. 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.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1986 Oldsmobile Calais motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Oldsmobile has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1986 Oldsmobile Calais vehicles.
