When to Change 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Oldsmobile Delta 88’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Oldsmobile recommends changing your 1986 Delta 88’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Delta 88 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 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 drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Oldsmobile Delta 88. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Oldsmobile has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 vehicles. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Delta 88's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Delta 88 by taking into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88

  • What can low oil do to my Oldsmobile Delta 88 engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine.

That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Oldsmobile Delta 88 oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
