Your car has a lot going on under the hood. In order for it to run smoothly, quality oil is essential for the engine to do its thing. Failure to change the oil as recommended could result in damages requiring major repairs.
Your vehicle comes with a manual, and each car is a little different in terms of preventative maintenance recommendations. Get that book out of the glove box, dust it off, and take a look at how often you should have the oil changed. Most experts agree that every 3,000 miles is standard, but check your car’s manual to make sure.
Many car owners opt to change oil themselves to make sure it’s done right and to save a few bucks. However, many drivers don’t take that option due to the time and know-how it takes. Most people go with the shop that’s closest or least expensive. What you need to know is that not all oil change places are the same. Do your homework, ask around, and make sure the mechanic comes recommended for car maintenance.
