2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Suzuki Grand Vitara motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Suzuki Grand Vitara engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Suzuki Grand Vitara oil at home? 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 professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Suzuki Grand Vitara exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Suzuki Grand Vitara oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Suzuki Grand Vitara oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Suzuki Grand Vitara? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Suzuki Grand Vitara oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to replace my Grand Vitara’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your Suzuki Grand Vitara, 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.
