How Often to Change 2002 Pontiac Montana Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Pontiac Montana’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. 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 Montana’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Pontiac-recommended oil change intervals, your Montana may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Pontiac recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Pontiac Montana. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

2002 Pontiac Montana Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Pontiac Montana 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 Montana’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Pontiac Montana oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who does Pontiac Montana oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Pontiac Montana 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 Montana oil light comes on? Your Pontiac Montana 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 Montana? It's recommended that you replace your Pontiac Montana oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
