Follow your manufacturer
Most modern cars using synthetic oil are designed for 5,000–10,000 miles between changes, or the interval shown by the oil life monitor.
When to change more often
'Severe service' schedules apply to a lot of everyday driving:
- Lots of short trips
- Stop-and-go traffic
- Extreme heat
- Towing or heavy loads
- Dusty conditions
Don't forget time
Even if you don't drive much, oil ages. Many manufacturers recommend changing it at least once or twice a year.
What we check during an oil change
Filter, fluid levels, tire pressure, brakes at a glance, belts and hoses, lights and any leaks — so small problems get caught early.
FAQ
