How Often Should You Change Oil
How Often Should You Change Oil
Changing your vehicle's oil is essential; not changing oil can create problems for your car. You should change your oil at least twice a year, regardless of how much driving you do. Your vehicle's oil is less effective over time, so even though you've only put 5,000 kilometres on your car over six months, your oil still needs to be changed. While changing your vehicle's oil early might keep your vehicle's parts fresh, it hurts the environment more than old oil. Meaning more oil needs to be disposed of, and there's already too much of it lying around.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should you change your oil?
A conservative estimate for an oil change is every 5,000 kilometres before significant improvements in fuel-delivery systems, engine materials, manufacturing methods, and oil chemistry. Today, engines typically stretch intervals to 7,500 kilometres or even more than 10,000 kilometres. So what is the correct answer? If you don't want to void your powertrain warranty, follow the owner's manual's oil type, mileage, and time recommendations. Some new vehicles come with a built-in oil life monitor. Remember that the oil monitor comes calibrated for the oil type recommended in the owner's manual.
