When to Change 2006 Pontiac Torrent Engine Oil

We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Pontiac recommends changing your 2006 Torrent’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Torrent may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Pontiac if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Pontiac Torrent. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2006 Pontiac Torrent Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Pontiac Torrent engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Torrent’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Pontiac Torrent oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Pontiac exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Pontiac Torrent oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Pontiac Torrent oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.

However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Torrent's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Pontiac Torrent every time you change the oil.
