How urgent is an oil change?

There is some confusion about how often to change or have the oil changed in your vehicle. Here are a few things to consider in regards to your car’s oil.

It has been previously believed that you should change your oil every 3,000 miles. Doing so may just be a waste of time and money. This practice is outdated and not necessary. There have been numerous advances in engine and oil technology, that the 3,000 mile rule doesn’t apply to newer vehicles. Now, the interval for changing oil can range from 5,000 to 15,000 miles.

Checking & changing your oil regularly will help your car last longer. On the average with newer vehicles, it is recommended to change the oil about every 7,800 miles.

Check your owner’s manual to determine the interval in which it is recommended to change oil in your particular vehicle.

Newer vehicle’s have an oil monitoring system, make sure to follow it and check the oil when needed. Don’t ignore you oil warning light (If you don’t know what the oil pressure light looks like, click here to see what it looks like and other dashboard warning lights).

Use extended-life motor oil. Extended oil is synthetic oil that is designed to last longer than traditional motor oil.

How often should I get an oil change?

At Jiffy Lube®, we recommend changing your oil approximately every 5,000 kilometers, or every three months. Regular oil changes are the best way to prevent contamination and water build-up in your engine.

What happens if I go too long between oil changes?

Oil is the lifeblood of your car’s engine. It keeps all of its parts moving smoothly, absorbs excess heat, and contains additives that help clean up nasty, harmful chemicals. After spending thousands of kilometers keeping your engine running right, your used oil degrades leaving harmful deposits, and over time can form sludge, which decreases your engine’s performance and lifespan. Regular oil changes keep your engine running smoothly by assisting in cooling, lubricating, cleaning an engine’s moving parts, and improving gas consumption to extend the life of your engine.

Synthetic oils are human-made and production is more costly than for conventional oil. Synthetic oil offers better protection and performance, particularly in extreme temperatures.
