1986 Renault Alliance Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Renault Alliance? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Alliance’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Renault Alliance oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Renault Alliance exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Renault Alliance oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Renault Alliance oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Renault Alliance oil light illuminated? Your Renault Alliance 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.
  • Does my Alliance's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Renault Alliance every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
