When Should I Get My Oil Changed?
It's not always easy to know when to get your oil changed. Besides following the guidelines set in your owner's manual, or by the sticker on your windshield, it's best to get your oil changed between 3,000 and 6,000 miles, depending on the oil your car needs and what type of vehicle you drive. If your driving conditions match any shown below, then your frequency of oil changes should be increased:
- Repeated short distance trips, like to the store or school and back.
- Driving in dusty conditions. Winds often move dust more than we realized.
- Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are being used.
- Extensive use of brakes. Been in rush traffic lately?
- Driving on rough or muddy roads.
- Driving in mountainous areas.
- Extended periods of idling or low speed operation. Again, rush hour?
- Driving in a prolonged period of extreme humidity or cold temperatures.
- More than 50% driving in heavy city traffic in above 90 degree weather.
