What can low oil do to my Pontiac Bonneville engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Bonneville’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Pontiac 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Pontiac Bonneville spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

How Often to Change 2002 Pontiac Bonneville Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2002 Pontiac Bonneville? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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.”

Pontiac recommends having your 2002 Pontiac Bonneville’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Bonneville in the above table. Your Bonneville 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, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Pontiac if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Pontiac Bonneville. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
