Getting regular oil changes is one of the most important things you can do to keep your vehicle running smoothly and reliably for years to come. Clean oil lubricates and protects the engine, allowing it to operate efficiently. Over time, engine oil breaks down and becomes contaminated, reducing its ability to properly lubricate. This can lead to increased engine wear and decreased performance if not addressed.
So how often should you change your oil? While the old rule of thumb was every 3 months or 3,000 miles, many modern vehicles can go longer between changes. Typical oil change intervals range from 5,000 to 7,500 miles, though this varies based on factors like:
- Vehicle make and model
- Age of vehicle
- Type of oil used (conventional vs. synthetic)
- Driving habits (frequent short trips, towing, extreme temperatures)
To find the recommended oil change schedule for your specific vehicle, check your owner's manual or ask one of our service advisors at Jaguar Fort Wayne.
