How often should I change my car’s oil?

The recommended frequency for changing your car's oil depends on the make, model, and age of your vehicle, as well as the type of oil and driving conditions [1].

Generally speaking, most cars should have their oil changed every 5,000 to 8,000 miles [2], although some newer vehicles may be able to go up to 10,000 miles between oil changes.

It is also important to follow your car's manufacturer's recommendations for oil changes, as these may vary from the general guidelines.

There are a few other things to keep in mind when it comes to changing your car's oil.

First, make sure that you use the right type of oil for your vehicle and check the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct type and viscosity.

Second, you should also be aware of the age of the oil, as older oil may not provide the same level of protection.

Finally, if you are driving in severe conditions, such as very hot or cold climates, you may need to change the oil more frequently.
