Suzuki recommends having your 1997 Suzuki Esteem’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Esteem in the above table.

1997 Suzuki Esteem Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Suzuki Esteem motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Suzuki Esteem engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Suzuki oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Suzuki Esteem spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Suzuki Esteem oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Suzuki Esteem oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Suzuki Esteem? Your Suzuki Esteem 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.
  • Do I need to change my Esteem's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Suzuki Esteem 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?
