Oldsmobile recommends changing your 2001 Intrigue’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Oldsmobile Intrigue? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Oldsmobile Intrigue engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Oldsmobile Intrigue oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Intrigue spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Oldsmobile Intrigue? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Oldsmobile Intrigue 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 Intrigue oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Oldsmobile Intrigue 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 replace my Intrigue’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Oldsmobile Intrigue oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
