How Often to Change 2009 Suzuki Equator Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Suzuki Equator’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. 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.

Your 2009 Equator’s oil should be changed according to Suzuki’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Suzuki-recommended oil change intervals, your Equator may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Suzuki recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Suzuki Equator. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
