When to Change 2012 Suzuki SX4 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2012 Suzuki SX4? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Suzuki recommends changing your 2012 SX4’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Suzuki-recommended oil change intervals, your SX4 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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 areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Suzuki SX4. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2012 Suzuki SX4 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Suzuki SX4 motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your SX4’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Suzuki SX4 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Suzuki exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Suzuki SX4 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Suzuki SX4 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Suzuki SX4 to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Suzuki SX4 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 SX4’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Suzuki SX4 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
