Oil Changes and Preventative Maintenance

Oil-change timing and other maintenance needs depend on the vehicle, engine, driving conditions and manufacturer guidance. Use the owner’s manual as the starting point for your vehicle.

Follow the specified interval

Vehicle manufacturers publish maintenance schedules and oil specifications. A qualified service professional can help interpret those requirements for the vehicle you own.

Consider operating conditions

Frequent short trips, towing, heavy loads, extreme temperatures and other conditions may affect maintenance planning. Discuss the vehicle’s typical use during a service visit.

Maintain records

Keep the mileage and date of service with your records. This can support future maintenance conversations and help you track the schedule.
