How often should I change my engine oil?
The frequency of oil changes depends on the type of oil used and your driving conditions. Generally, synthetic oils allow for longer intervals, typically between 5,000 to 7,500 miles, while conventional oils may require changes every 3,000 miles. Always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations, as some modern engines are designed for even longer intervals. Although, longer intervals are not usually recommended. I personally change my synthetic oil every 5,000 miles. Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining engine health, reducing wear, and preventing costly repairs.
