Pontiac recommends changing your 1987 T1000’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your T1000 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your T1000 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Pontiac T1000. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
