How Often to Get 2011 Suzuki Equator Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Suzuki Equator’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Suzuki recommends changing your 2011 Equator’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Suzuki-recommended oil change intervals, your Equator may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Suzuki recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Suzuki Equator. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Suzuki Equator?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2011 Suzuki Equator motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Suzuki has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2011 Equator.

In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your Equator’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Equator by taking into account your driving style, and mileage.
