How Often Should I Change My Oil?

The first part of being able to meet regular maintenance milestones is knowing exactly what those milestones are. When it comes to oil changes, most experts recommend you change your oil at least twice a year, or every six months—except in extenuating circumstances.

However, most cars will let you know when it’s time for an oil change by lighting up a dashboard  light shaped like an oil can with a drop spilling from the spout.

Why Do I Need to Change My Oil?

Of course, knowing when you should do something isn’t as important as knowing why you should do it. The reason you need to change your vehicle’s oil so frequently is that throughout the course of everyday driving, your oil will become dirty and less effective.

Your oil is responsible for making sure the engine is lubricated and doesn’t overheat. So, it’s of the utmost importance that it remains effective. Driving with dirty oil for an extended period of time could lead to expensive repairs down the line.

What Happens During an Oil Change?

When you drop off your car for an oil change, the first thing we’ll do is remove the dirty oil and package it away for proper disposal—used motor oil is considered a biohazard. Then we’ll examine the oil filter and determine if it can be cleaned or if it needs to be replaced.

We may run some fresh oil mixed with cleaner if we notice that the oil is particularly dirty. After that, we’ll top off the oil and then send you on your way. The whole process should take no longer than half an hour.
