Go Longer in Between Oil Changes
The service technician at the corner auto shop says to change your oil every 3,000 miles, but your owners manual says 7,500. Who should you trust in this situation? For a while, everyone recommended 3,000-mile oil service from technicians.
Automakers have tested these recommendations and they report their overall findings in your owners manual with regard to oil changes. Unless the driver is going off-road or taking routine trips less than 10 miles, they don’t need that 3-month service oil change.
