Why check the motor oil level in my Plymouth Acclaim?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Acclaim’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Plymouth oil on my own?
