Oldsmobile recommends having your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Cutlass Supreme in the above table. Outside of Oldsmobile-recommended oil change intervals, your Cutlass Supreme may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. 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.
