When to Change 1987 Plymouth Sundance Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1987 Plymouth Sundance? 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 1987 Plymouth Sundance’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Plymouth-recommended oil change intervals, your Sundance may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Plymouth recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Plymouth Sundance. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
