How Often Should I Get My Car’s Oil Changed?

Your car’s health, and the safety of you and your passengers, depend on following a prescribed maintenance routine. Regular synthetic motor oil replacements are essential to the safe, efficient operation of your vehicle. Fortunately, there have been several advances in both motor oil and engine technologies. Consequently, Boaz drivers don’t have to get synthetic motor oil replacements quite as frequently. 

Recommended Oil Change Frequency 

How often should you change your oil? Some cars require a higher frequency than others, but the general rule of thumb is to get a synthetic motor oil replacement every 7,500-10,000 miles (consult your owner’s manual for specific information about your model). If the following points describe your driving habits, it’s recommended that you adjust your synthetic motor oil replacement frequency to suit your driving style if you’re involved in: 

• Racing
• Heavy-duty towing
• Commercial driving
• Off-roading
