Most of our Aransas Pass customers know they should get their oil changed regularly. But how often is “regularly”? How often should you change your oil, exactly? It can seem like it depends on whom you ask. Most of the fast lube type shops will tell you to do it every 3,000 miles. But other mechanics will say that once every 5,000 miles is fine. Which is right? What is the right oil change frequency for your car? The service department at Corpus Christi wants to help you keep your car on the road. So, let’s look at the proper oil change frequency so you know when to schedule an appointment with us.
Like we said before, most experts say that proper oil change frequency is right around every 5,000 miles. That is fine for most vehicles. But how do you know what is right for your specific vehicle? The last word on the matter is your vehicle’s owner’s manual, because it was written by the people who built and designed your automobile. The manuals for some cars prescribe changing the oil every 7,500 miles. Some manuals call for oil changes to be done more often. Whatever the case, it’s important to follow the specific instructions in your manual. After all, no one wants to be broken down on the side of the road in Kingsville because they had neglected getting their oil changed.
How often should you change your oil if your car is still under warranty? If your automobile is still under warranty, check the warranty for details on how often your car should be serviced, including the specific oil change frequency. This is more than a recommendation. Not following the service schedule outlined in your warranty could void the warranty altogether, in some cases.
The knowledgeable professionals in our service center know all about oil changes on all types of vehicles. And we make it easy for you to have your car serviced. So, schedule an appointment online.
