The Change in Oil Changes.

For years and years, the car manufactures have drilled into our heads that we need to get our oil changed every 3,000 miles and that was true when the oil wasn't up to par with the synthetic and petroleum oils we have today.

It is no longer necessary to change the would every 3,000 miles, you can wait almost 5,000-7,500 miles based on the way you drive and handle your vehicle. If you drive it hard, towing, accelerating harshly, or in hilly areas, you will need to often change it more often then if you where just driving highway or in town miles. However, during the period between oil changes you do need to regularly check the oil to make sure that it is still in good preforming condition. So for the two different bases of oil, change regular petroleum ever 4-5,000 miles and synthetic ever 5-7,000 miles.

By doing this you can cut your oil changes in half from 4 times a year to 2 times a year, and save between $60-$100 a year. Which adds up if you think about it, not having to take the time to actually go to a shop and have them service your vehicle, and also saving on the gas you would be using to get to said shop.

If you don't know how to check it yourself, come on down and I would be more than happy to check it for you. Autobody Specialists 2910 Hwy 32 ste. 900, Chico, CA 95973 (530) 893.2222
