How Often to Get 1991 Plymouth Colt Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1991 Plymouth Colt? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of 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.

Plymouth recommends having your 1991 Plymouth Colt’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Colt may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Plymouth if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt 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.

What Type of Oil Does My Plymouth Colt Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1991 Plymouth Colt motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Plymouth has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1991 Colt. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, one of our techs will change your Colt’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Colt by considering your driving preferences, and mileage.

1991 Plymouth Colt Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Plymouth Colt? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Plymouth Colt engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Plymouth oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Plymouth Colt exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Plymouth Colt oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Plymouth Colt oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Plymouth Colt to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Plymouth Colt oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Plymouth Colt? Every time you change the oil in your Plymouth Colt, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
