Posted in FAQ

There is no cut and dry answer when it comes to oil change timelines because it depends on the make and model of your car. Most experts can agree though that the 3,000 mile rule that had been standard for years is no longer necessary for newer vehicles. Some new vehicles can go as long as 10,000 miles before needing to head in for a service. The best way to see how often you should be getting an oil change is to read your car’s manual.
