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 1996 Plymouth Neon’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Neon in the above table. Your Neon 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, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Plymouth recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Plymouth Neon. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1996 Plymouth Neon Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Plymouth Neon engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Neon’s engine to fail. 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. 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 Plymouth Neon spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Plymouth Neon oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Plymouth Neon oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Plymouth Neon oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Plymouth Neon 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.
  • Do I need to replace my Neon’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Plymouth Neon during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
