How Often Should I Change My Oil?

When you don't get regular oil changes, it can have a drastic impact on your car's performance and may even lead to significant damage and costly repairs. We recommend you have your oil changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or about twice a year. Getting your oil changed twice a year keeps the oil fresh and ready to lubricate the moving engine parts. Regularly scheduled appointments help regulate engine temperatures and achieve the best performance. You can refer to your owner's manual for a more specific service schedule and how often you should make appointments with our service team.

Even if you don't drive often and have a high remaining oil life, it's still a good idea to get service every six months. These regular intervals can keep engine oil from thickening and sticking to the moving parts. You will also want to keep your eyes out for signs that you might need an oil change sooner. These signs can include:

• Loud engine noises
• Low oil level
• Decrease in fuel efficiency rating and performance output
• Dark or dirty oil
• Check Engine light is illuminated
• Excess vehicle exhaust

What Type of Engine Oil Should I Use?

Newer models should use full-synthetic motor oil to get the best performance. A premium oil change offers top quality and the most miles between service appointments. You can opt for the conventional or synthetic blend, too.
