How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Oil Change


Your vehicle’s health is nearly as crucial as your own health. Why? Your safety and the safety of your passengers depends on the ability of your vehicle to perform well under any circumstances, especially emergencies. Regular oil changes are a crucial part of maintaining your car’s overall normal operation.

Over the past decade, engine and oil technologies have helped Omaha and Bellevue drivers decrease the average necessarily oil change frequency. Most new vehicles today carry an oil change frequency ranging between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. Nevertheless, you’ll always want to consult your vehicle owner’s manual for recommendations specific to your vehicle make and model. Check out our quick guide on oil change frequency, then contact us today to learn more or schedule service!

  • Consult your vehicle owner’s manual to see if synthetic or conventional oil is best for your car. While synthetic oil is more expensive, it lasts longer.
  • Over time, oil breaks down, even if your vehicle isn’t regularly driven. If you aren’t often driving, you should change your oil at least twice yearly.
  • When you change your oil, make sure that you change your oil filter as well.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil?

Checking your oil at least once-a-month is a must to prevent any issues while you’re on the road. Changes in your oil’s texture and color can be a sign of more severe issues. If you need service or are low on oil, schedule service with us here at Edwards Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT today!
