1998 Oldsmobile LSS Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Oldsmobile LSS? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Oldsmobile LSS engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Oldsmobile LSS 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 changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. 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, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

  • Do I need to change my LSS's oil filter when I get an oil change? You should replace your Oldsmobile LSS during each oil change.
