How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

how-to-check-car-oil

The health of your vehicle relies heavily on the volume and quality of your oil. Since engine oil is used to lubricate the moving parts of your engine, it serves a major role in preventing your car from overheating during your commute from Lincoln to Seward. In the past, you may have been told to get your oil changed every 3,000 miles. With modern oil and automotive technology, your oil change frequency can extend much further.

So, how often should you change your oil? Most vehicles should have an oil change once every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. While a good rule of thumb, you’ll want to check your owner’s manual and tailor your habits to your Milford lifestyle. Get other tips and learn about the proper oil change frequency with us below!

Recommended Oil Change Frequency

How often should you change your oil? As we said, generally once every 7,500 to 10,000 miles will do the trick, but some vehicles and drivers require more frequent oil replacements. If your Crete travels routinely include any of the following, you’ll likely need to visit Sid Dillon Chevrolet Crete for oil changes more frequently:

  • Off-roading
  • Commercial use
  • Racing
  • Heavy towing

Oil Change Frequency Information

While a relatively simple task to handle in your own garage, most drivers prefer to turn the keys over to our service professionals for oil changes. In any case, explore a few of our oil change tips here:

  • Review the information in your owner’s manual to see if your vehicle requires synthetic or conventional oil. Synthetic is more expensive, but has enriched properties and lasts longer.
  • Oil breaks down over time no matter what, even if a vehicle isn’t being driven consistently. Even if you’re not a routine driver, you should still get your oil changed roughly twice per year.
  • Be sure to get a new oil filter when you change your oil. If you’re handling your own oil change, you can order your filter directly from Sid Dillon Chevrolet Crete.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

Just like a springtime tune-up, oil checks come around every so often. So, how often should you check your oil? Generally, we recommend doing a spot check on your oil about once a month. Keep track of the volume and color of your oil. If anything seems off, visit us in Crete for care!
