Recommended Oil Change Frequency

The recommended oil change frequency is around every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. However, this depends on your individual driving habits and climate. So, if you take part in any of the following, you might need to have a closer oil change frequency:

  • Off-roading
  • Commercial use

  • Heavy towing

Tips on Oil Change Frequency

Let’s check out some tips on oil change frequency to help you throughout the process. If you have any questions, be sure to call your local Woodinville service center.

  • Look at your owner’s manual to see if you should put synthetic or conventional oil in your vehicle. Synthetic oil is more, however, it lasts longer.
  • Because oil breaks down even if the vehicle is not driven often, your oil change frequency should still be about once per year.
  • Always change your oil filter when you change your oil. Our helpful parts center can point you in the right direction of which one is best for your vehicle.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

You should check your oil level once per month to catch any potential issues down the road. Looks for things such as changes in your oil’s color and texture, as this could point to more expensive issues in the future.
