How Often to Get 1987 Plymouth Reliant Oil Changes

Need more info about 1987 Plymouth Reliant oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Plymouth recommends having your 1987 Plymouth Reliant’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Reliant may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle 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 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.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1987 Plymouth Reliant motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Plymouth has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best oil for 1987 Plymouth Reliant vehicles. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1987 Plymouth Reliant

  • Should I check my Plymouth Reliant motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, 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 engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Plymouth Reliant spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or old 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.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Plymouth Reliant? 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? You should replace your Plymouth Reliant 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.
