Need more info about 1987 Oldsmobile Calais oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Oldsmobile recommends having your 1987 Oldsmobile Calais’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Calais 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 an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Oldsmobile recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Oldsmobile Calais. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1987 Oldsmobile Calais Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Oldsmobile Calais motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Oldsmobile Calais engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Oldsmobile Calais oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Calais exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Oldsmobile Calais? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Oldsmobile Calais oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Oldsmobile Calais oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Oldsmobile Calais oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to change my Calais's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Oldsmobile Calais, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
