Suzuki recommends having your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Grand Vitara may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change 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.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Suzuki Grand Vitara. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
