Keeping up with routine maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations is crucial for the overall health of your vehicle, and ultimately your safety on the Orland Park roads. So, how often should you change your oil? Oil change frequency is not one-size-fits-all, as there are a number of factors that will influence how often your vehicle will require an oil change. Generally speaking, though, experts recommend oil changes every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Make sure to check your owner’s manual for specifics on oil change frequency, and don’t hesitate to consult the technicians at the Bettenhausen CDJR service center for advice.
How often should you change your oil? As previously mentioned, you should generally get an oil change every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, or approximately every 6 months. However, certain vehicles can go longer between oil changes, while others require more frequent oil changes. Your car’s drivetrain will impact your oil change frequency, as will the type of oil it requires. Your driving habits on and off the Mokena streets also determine how often you need oil changes. For instance, the following practices put more strain on your engine and therefore increase your oil change frequency:
