Keep your engine healthy and extend your car’s lifespan with timely oil changes.
How Regular Oil Changes Benefit Your Engine
Your car’s engine relies on clean oil to lubricate its moving parts, reduce friction, and regulate temperature. Over time, oil breaks down and collects dirt, making it less effective. Without regular oil changes, this can lead to increased wear and tear, overheating, and even engine failure.
When Should You Change Your Oil?
The frequency of oil changes depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and driving habits. As a general guideline:
- For conventional oil in older vehicles: Oil changes should happen every 3,000 to 5,000 miles
- Newer vehicles with synthetic oil should have oil changes every 7,500 to 10,000 miles
Refer to your owner’s manual or speak with an expert to determine the right oil change frequency for your vehicle.
Warning Signs It’s Time for an Oil Change
These are the signs your car is ready for an oil change:
- Dirty Oil: If the oil on the dipstick is thick and dark, it’s time to replace it.
- Engine Running Loud: Old oil can't lubricate the engine as effectively, leading to increased engine noise.
- Dashboard Warning Light: A lit dashboard warning light often indicates it’s time for an oil change.
- Smoke from the Exhaust: If you see blue or gray smoke, your oil may be burning, signaling a problem.
