Oil Change Q&A for Your 1987 Renault Alliance

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Renault Alliance? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Renault Alliance engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Renault Alliance oil at home? 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. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Renault Alliance exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Renault Alliance? 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.
  • What does it mean if my Renault Alliance oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Renault Alliance could be triggered by an overdue oil change. 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 Alliance's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Renault Alliance, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
