How Often to Change 1996 Plymouth Voyager Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1996 Plymouth Voyager? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Plymouth recommends changing your 1996 Voyager’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Plymouth-recommended oil change intervals, your Voyager may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, 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, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Plymouth Voyager. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Plymouth Voyager?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1996 Plymouth Voyager motor oil: either synthetic or conventional.

You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Voyager by considering your driving preferences, and mileage.
