Plymouth recommends having your 1998 Plymouth Neon’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Plymouth-recommended oil change intervals, your Neon may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Plymouth Neon. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
