When it comes to ways to extend the lifespan of your engine and keep your car running for the long haul, few things are as effective as getting regular oil changes. How often should you change your oil for the way you drive in Nixa? The answer varies, depending on what vehicle you drive and how you drive. You can get the exact recommended oil change frequency from your owner’s manual. It’s likely going to be between 7,500 and 10,000 miles or twice a year. Learn more about how often you should change your oil and how much an oil change costs with Thompson Cadillac.
While 7,500—10,000 miles is a good measure for when you can expect to need an oil change, some of your Ozark driving habits can make it so you need to increase your oil change frequency. If you do a lot of off-road driving, racing, heavy towing, or your vehicle is used commercially, you’ll likely need more frequent oil changes. If you don’t drive very often, you should still plan on getting an oil change twice a year. Old oil breaks down and can damage engines that aren’t driven very often. No matter if you’re a rugged driver or just take your car out occasionally, always make sure you replace your oil filter when you get an oil change.
Checking your oil level once a month can protect your Republic ride between oil changes. When you check your car’s oil you can spot potential problems and get them repaired before they become big problems. If your oil level is lower than it should be, it could be a sign that there’s a leak, while metal or debris in the oil could mean metal wear and tear that shouldn’t be happening. If you discover low oil levels or dirty oil in a monthly check, schedule an appointment with our service center.
Now that you know how often you should change your oil, learn more from our service tips hub at Thompson Cadillac! Knowing the basics about auto service can save you time, money, and expensive repairs in the long run.
