Do You Really Need To Change Your Oil So Often?

The old rule states that you should change your oil every 3,000 miles or every three months. For many people, this can seem rather difficult or expensive to manage. Is it really necessary to change your oil that often or can you get away with longer oil changes?

That Advice Is Outdated

While people who tell you to change your oil every 3,000 miles are trying to help, they are repeating information that was true of much older cars. Modern engines have increased efficiency and oil can last a long longer than it used to in the old days. Just how much longer can you go between oil changes than you could before?

That all depends on the type of car you own. Some cars can go a lot longer than others between oil changes. In fact, you might be shocked at just how far many higher-quality cars can go before getting one done.

The Rule Of Thumb

Generally, you can go about 5,000 miles before getting your oil changed. This is nearly double the original mileage that used to be suggested so heavily. Shockingly, some cars can even go 7,500 or even 10,000 miles without an oil change.

However, the 5,000 mile average is a good choice unless you have a high-performance vehicle designed for minimal oil use. Talk to your car dealer or local oil change specialist to see if you have a vehicle that can last longer than 5,000 miles without an oil change.

So if you need a lubrication change done quickly and efficiently, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. We can provide you with the help you need to keep your car running smoothly and efficiently.
