1984 Pontiac J2000 Sunbird Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Pontiac J2000 Sunbird motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Pontiac J2000 Sunbird 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. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Pontiac J2000 Sunbird spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is 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, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who does Pontiac J2000 Sunbird oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Pontiac J2000 Sunbird oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Pontiac J2000 Sunbird oil light comes on? Your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Pontiac J2000 Sunbird? Every time you change the oil in your Pontiac J2000 Sunbird, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
