Oil Changes for 1988 Suzuki Samurai

Not sure how or where to get your Suzuki Samurai’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of 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.”

Your 1988 Samurai’s oil should be changed according to Suzuki’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Suzuki-recommended oil change intervals, your Samurai 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 notice an unusual amount of 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. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Suzuki Samurai. 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.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1988 Suzuki Samurai motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Suzuki has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1988 Suzuki Samurai vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. In an oil change service, 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 essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the 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.
