Renault recommends changing your 1983 Fuego’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Fuego in the above table. Your Fuego may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Renault recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Renault Fuego. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
