How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Adding oil to engine
 
If your vehicle isn’t “healthy,” it can not only impact your ride, but it can also affect the safety of you and your passengers. Having routine oil changes and other scheduled maintenance is essential. Yet often, we receive questions from customers asking, ‘How often should you change your oil?’

Over the past few years, new developments in oil and engine technology have allowed Muskogee drivers to last longer between oil changes. Many newer Toyota models require an oil change between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. You can also check your owner’s manual if you have specific questions about your selection. For more, reach below from James Hodge Toyota about everything oil change-related.

Recommended Oil Change Frequency 

So when should you change the oil in your vehicle? Some models have a higher oil change frequency than others. However, for most experts, a general consideration is to change your oil every 7,500-10,000 miles. There’s also specific types of driving that can impact your oil changes. Among the types the might change your oil change frequency are:

  • Off-Roading.
  • Commercial Use.
  • Racing.
  • Heavy Towing.

Oil Change Frequency Information

Are you looking for more tips on oil changes or oil change frequency? If you are, the experts at the James Hodge Toyota service center suggest the following:

  • Check your owner’s manual to see whether you should use synthetic or conventional oil on your car. Synthetic oil costs more but lasts longer.
  • Oil eventually breaks down, even when your car isn’t being driven on a consistent basis. If you don’t drive often, you should still change your oil at least twice per year.
  • Make sure you change your oil filter whenever your oil gets changed. Our parts center can help find you the right oil filter for your Toyota model.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

Check your oil level at least once a month to avoid any problems when you’re driving around Tahlequah and the nearby communities. Things like oil color changes and texture can be a sign of serious issues.
