Oldsmobile recommends having your 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Firenza in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Firenza may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Oldsmobile recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Oldsmobile Firenza. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza

  • What can low oil do to my Oldsmobile Firenza engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Oldsmobile Firenza engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Oldsmobile Firenza oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro 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.
  • Who does Oldsmobile Firenza oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Oldsmobile Firenza oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Oldsmobile Firenza oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Oldsmobile Firenza 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 Firenza's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Oldsmobile Firenza every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
