What can low oil do to my Pontiac Firebird engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Firebird’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Pontiac Firebird oil at home?

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 with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Pontiac exhaust smoke gray or blue?

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 the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Pontiac recommends having your 2000 Pontiac Firebird’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Firebird in the above table.
