When Should Your Oil Be Changed?
Your oil should be changed at regular intervals, but also depending on your driving habits. If you are taking frequent commutes and put a lot of miles on your vehicle, we'd recommend sticking closer to the every 3,000 miles mark, while most drivers who have the normal amount of driving in a full year are generally able to go every 6,000 miles between oil changes. It also depends on the type of oil you get, and at our dealership we use many different types, and our Madison Heights service center team is happy to consult with you on which one is best.
The benefits to regular oil changes are many. You'll be ensuring your engine is running clean as it is able to clear out any buildup onboard for smoother driving and better efficiency from your vehicle. A used car, truck or SUV with regular oil changes also has the ability to last longer, which makes getting changes done beneficial for everyone in the Lynchburg area.
