Suzuki recommends having your 1987 Suzuki Samurai’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Samurai may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Suzuki recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Suzuki Samurai. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1987 Suzuki Samurai motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Suzuki has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1987 Samurai. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Samurai’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Samurai by taking into account your driving habits, and odometer.
