How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts, reduces heat, and prevents internal wear. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated, reducing its effectiveness.

Most modern vehicles require oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on oil type and driving habits. Short trips and stop-and-go driving can shorten oil life.

Skipping oil changes can lead to sludge buildup, reduced performance, and engine damage. Consistent oil changes help extend engine life and improve fuel economy.

Oil changes are a great time to bundle services like tire rotations and vehicle inspections.
