How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

oil change on a car
 

The health of your car heavily depends on the health of your engine, which requires regular oil changes to stay running in tip-top shape. But, many Shelby drivers wonder: How often should you change your oil? Most new cars have an oil change frequency of 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Our service department wants to help you keep your vehicle running in smoothly on our Ontario roads, so we’ve put together the guide below on the correct oil change frequency for your car.

 

 

Recommended Oil Change Frequency

Your owner’s manual is the definitive source for determining the correct oil change frequency for your vehicle. Many owner’s manuals for late-model cars recommend getting the oil changed once every 7,500 miles to 10,000 miles but this may vary based on make and model. Our service center goes by recommendations straight from the manufacturer and will assist our Ashland customers accordingly. 

That said, vehicles that work harder may need to have their oil change frequency adjusted to keep up with the work they do. If you use your vehicle for any of the following types of driving, see our service team for oil change frequency recommendations: 

  • Commercial use
  • Heavy towing
  • Off-roading
  • Racing

Oil Change Frequency Tips

Read these tips before your next oil change to see how you might better service your vehicle: 

  • Different cars require different kinds of oil, usually broken down into three types: synthetic oil, conventional oil, and synthetic blend. Using the right kind of oil in your vehicle will extend your engine life. 
  • Oil breaks down even when not in use. If you have a car you don’t drive often, you’ll still want to have your oil checked and changed up to twice a year. 
  • Always change your oil filter when changing your oil! Our parts center can help you find the right OEM oil filter for your Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, or RAM.
