1997 Oldsmobile Regency Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Oldsmobile Regency? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine.

That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Oldsmobile Regency oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Oldsmobile Regency spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
