Oldsmobile recommends having your 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Cutlass Supreme in the above table. Your Cutlass Supreme may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess 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, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm 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.

1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme engine? 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 eventually lead to Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 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 also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. 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 worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme? The oil change light in your Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme? You should replace your Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
