It’s important to keep up with your vehicle’s recommended service schedule. This includes getting regular oil changes. So how often should you change your oil? Typically it’s recommended that you follow the oil change frequency between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. With newer models, most models can last a bit longer, but you’ll want to double-check with your owner’s manual for more exact oil change frequencies. In the meantime, learn more with our service team at Rusnak Auto Group in Pasadena.

Recommended Oil Change Frequency

So how often should you change your oil? As mentioned above, some models have a higher oil change frequency than others, but the general rule of thumb is to change your oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. You may want to consider having your oil changed more often if you participate in any of the following driving habits:

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

Oil Change Frequency Information

With our team at Rusnak Auto Group, you can find all of the oil change tips and facts you need to better care for your Thousand Oaks model. Here are a few oil change tips we have to offer in the meantime:

  • Check your owner’s manual to see if you should use synthetic or conventional oil on your car. Synthetic oil costs more but lasts longer.
  • Oil eventually breaks down, even when the car isn’t 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 you change your oil. Our parts center can assist you in getting the right oil filter for your .

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

Now that you know how often to change your oil, how often should you check it? It’s recommended that you have your oil checked at least once a month to ensure everything is golden when you’re out on Westlake Village streets. Make sure you keep your eyes open for a change in color and texture as these can be a sign of a serious problem. Should you see a change, schedule service with our team at Rusnak Auto Group.
