Frequent Oil Changes

Care Tips » Frequent Oil Changes
The quick–lube oil industry would have us all believe that changing
your car’s oil every 3,000 miles is both necessary and beneficial to
your car. This is not true. In fact, no car sold in the U.S. since the
mid to late 1960’s required oil changes at a frequency less than ever
4,000 miles. Most car manufactures specify oil changes every 6,000 to
10,000 miles, with some cars going as much as 15,000 miles. The reason
for the extended oil service is cleaner burning fuels, electronic fuel
injection systems, improved engine materials and design, and better
oils. Check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended
oil change interval. If you change your oil regularly on the recommended
schedule, no damage or excessive wear and tear will occur.
