How Long Has it Been Since Your Last Oil Change?
How much time has passed and how many miles you've driven since your last oil change is one of the most reliable ways to maintain your vehicle. While some vehicles will need an oil change every 3,000 miles, others can go 5,000 to 7,500 miles before needing an oil change or every six months, depending on your model, driving habits, oil type, and which condition you meet first.
Check Your Oil
You can roll up your sleeves and remove the dipstick to determine the condition of your motor oil for yourself. Be sure to check your owner's manual to follow the correct steps, such as only removing the dipstick when the engine is cool. What you want to see is a golden-brown color and transparent consistency. Milky, dark brown, or gloppy oil will require an oil change as soon as possible.
Watch for Changes in Your Driving Experience
Ideally, the quality of your motor oil will not have adverse effects on your driving experience since it means there is already a serious issue. Some of the red flags that may indicate you need an oil change include:
- Rough idle
- Odd odors
- Poor mileage
- High engine temperatures
