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 1991 Pontiac Trans Sport’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Trans Sport may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Pontiac if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Pontiac Trans Sport. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1991 Pontiac Trans Sport Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Pontiac Trans Sport? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Trans Sport’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Pontiac oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 Trans Sport exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Pontiac Trans Sport oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Pontiac Trans Sport oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Pontiac Trans Sport oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Pontiac Trans Sport oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to replace my Trans Sport’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Pontiac Trans Sport every time you change the oil.
