1988 Plymouth Sundance Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Plymouth Sundance? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Plymouth Sundance engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Plymouth Sundance oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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 Sundance exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. 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 damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Plymouth Sundance oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Plymouth Sundance oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Plymouth Sundance to illuminate? Your Plymouth Sundance 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.
  • Do I need to replace my Sundance’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Plymouth Sundance 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.
