As a car owner, you should always follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for auto oil change intervals. This information can be found in the owner’s manual, manufacturer or dealership websites. But despite the recommendations that engine oil be changed every 5,000, 7,500, or 10,000 miles, there are still many drivers who still hold onto the outdated information of oil changes every 3,000 miles.
Changing car oil is necessary. If you are confused about when to have your engine oil changed due to the varying recommendations, seek the advice of a certified mechanic because if you use your vehicle to tow heavy loads, take frequent short trips, or spend most of the time in stop-and-go traffic, you may be better off getting more frequent engine oil changes.
It is important that you always seek the help of a certified mechanic who knows how to change car oil properly. In addition to a guarantee that the change oil service is done right, you may also be informed of other issues that have come to light during the oil change and inspeciton.
