Typically, you should have your oil changed every 3,000 to 6,000 miles, but this can depend on the conditions that you drive in. Factors like weather and traffic and put undue stress on your engine, causing the parts to work hard, and the engine oil to wear out faster. Our service technicians recommend that you refer to your owner's manual and stick to a maintenance schedule to ensure your engine oil continues to operate at a high level.

Choosing the right engine oil blend can affect the performance of your vehicle, and you might find yourself looking to find the right blend for your vehicle. You can choose between semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oil types. Semi-synthetic oil blends synthetic and mineral oil and is generally cheaper than a fully synthetic blend, while the fully synthetic engine oil offers the highest level of performance by not degrading as quickly and helping to improve fuel efficiency.

Keeping an eye out for signs that your engine oil needs to be replaced can make a lot of difference. If you check your engine oil and it looks dark brown or black, or it seems to be a low level, you should have it serviced immediately. Other signs can include a smoky, oily smell in the cabin of your vehicle, or your might notice you car shaking as you drive.
