How Often Does My Car Need an Oil Change?

We recommend having your vehicle’s oil changed every 3,000 miles. This ensures your engine is lubricated and operating as it should while filtering out grime. Routine oil changes help your car drive better, last longer and keep its value.

Types of Oil

Picking the best oil for your vehicle is vital to your vehicle’s performance. Each grade features elements that affect how well your car operates and how often you need to change out your oil. To find out what type of oil your vehicle requires, check your owner’s manual inside your car’s glovebox. You can contact our certified service team if this information is unavailable in your owner’s manual.

  • Conventional Oil
    • This option is the more affordable choice. This provides adequate lubrication and includes various additives supporting a smooth-running engine.
  • Synthetic Oil 
    • Synthetic oils are more chemically stable and combat deposit and sludge buildup. This, in turn, reduces wear and protects against high temperatures while also flowing better in the colder months.
