Oil changes are probably the most common form of auto maintenance that your vehicle will need to undergo. This is a good thing as a vehicle that goes too long without an oil change can develop severe engine issues that rapidly become very expensive.
We recommend that you consult your vehicle owner’s manual to determine how often you should get your oil changed as well as what type of oil you should use. The older your vehicle the more often it will need an oil change. Conventional wisdom dictates that you should change your oil every 3,000 miles or every three months. This may no longer be the case unless you are driving an older vehicle that uses conventional oil.
Oil changes for modern cars, trucks, and SUVs are now recommended every 7,500 or 10,000 miles. In fact, Jaguar model vehicles have the longest period between oil changes at 15,000 miles. Some Hyundai, Kia, and Toyota vehicles that use traditional oil are suggested to undergo an oil change every 5,000 miles.
