Oil Change Jackson MI

When Do I Need an Oil Change?

Oil change intervals are not a uniform thing. It really comes down to your car and the conditions you drive in. However, it’s generally a good idea to change your oil between every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. Some cars today can last until 10,000 miles or one year, so it’s often best to check your manufacturer recommendations.

If you want the most accurate reading on when you should change your oil, though, a good idea is to manually check your oil at least once a month. Just pull out the dipstick, wipe it off, and dip it in again. If the reading shows low oil or the oil is sludgy and contaminated with dirt, you’ll want to have it replaced.

If you haven’t changed your oil in a while, there are some symptoms you should pay attention to that show your engine needs care soon. Some of the most common signs your engine needs fresh oil include:

• Low oil pressure light is on
• Oily smell in the cabin
• Smokey exhaust
• Knocking sounds from the engine
