Changing your oil is one of the most important parts of vehicle maintenance – if you don’t do anything else, at least you get your oil changed. Just ask any teenager! However, the rule you might know about “6 months or 3,000 miles” isn’t necessarily true. Especially for our customers with classic cars, that interval between oil changes might be shorter, and if you drive a newer vehicle that interval might be longer. Check out some of the factors that go into the frequency of your oil changes:
- The age of your car
- The type of oil you use
- How many miles are on your car
- What conditions you usually drive in
- How hard you drive your car
So, basically, you should ask your service tech to really take a look at your engine and talk with you about your driving habits so that they can assess how often you really need to get your oil changed. If you don’t need one every 3,000 miles and can actually go 8,000 miles, you should be able to spend that time enjoying your awesome vehicle, not having your car sit in the shop for an oil change it doesn’t need for another 5,000 miles!
