Can I change my Plymouth Colt oil at home?

Plymouth recommends changing your 1989 Colt’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Colt 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 Plymouth recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Plymouth Colt. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
