Plymouth recommends having your 1983 Plymouth Reliant’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Reliant in the above table. Your Reliant 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 vehicle, 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, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Plymouth Reliant. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1983 Plymouth Reliant Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Plymouth Reliant engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Reliant’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Plymouth oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Plymouth Reliant exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. 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 Reliant oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Plymouth Reliant oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Plymouth Reliant oil light comes on? Your Plymouth Reliant oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Plymouth Reliant? It's recommended that you replace your Plymouth Reliant oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
