Should I check my Peugeot 505 motor oil level?

Can I change my Peugeot 505 oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

When to Change 1988 Peugeot 505 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Peugeot 505’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Peugeot recommends changing your 1988 505’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your 505 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Peugeot recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Peugeot 505. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
