Why regular oil changes are important
Over time, your oil begins to wear out and become less effective at performing its job. If left unattended, you might have bigger problems in the future, especially with your vehicle’s engine. Here's the following reason why you should do an oil change:
1. It’ll help maintain excellent gas mileage. If you don’t do an oil change, it’ll lessen your gas mileage and you’ll need to put gas in your vehicle more often.
2. It’ll make your engine clean and smooth running.
3. Having a clean engine with regular oil change will prolong your engine’s life.
4. It gives engine lubrication and prevents the engine from overheating.
How often should oil be changed?
For vehicles made in the past decade or so, automakers usually recommend changing the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, with even higher intervals for certain models. Most owner’s manuals now specify synthetic blend or full synthetic oil in concert with these longer oil change intervals. Manufacturers recommend changing the oil every 3,000 miles for many older vehicles and certain engine types. The 3,000-mile oil change might be a sensible tradition to keep alive if you choose conventional oil.
However, check your manual – and your vehicle’s oil change reminder if it triggers between oil changes, And if you aren’t reaching the mileage guideline each year, follow your manual’s timed oil change interval instead.
