The Importance of Regular Oil Changes
Why are regular oil changes so important, anyway? Here are some of the most important reasons to get oil changes as often as your vehicle manufacturer recommends:
- Provides engine lubrication. Oil helps all the parts of your engine run smoothly, reducing damaging friction and the resulting heat. Clean, topped-up oil helps prevent your vehicle from overheating.
- Reduces build-up and engine wear. Oil changes help remove sludge and excess dirt that has built up inside the engine over time. A clean engine is a well-running one, and oil changes help keep your engine clean and happy.
- Improved gas mileage. Dirty or low oil levels can decrease your vehicle’s efficiency, while regular oil changes can help improve your car’s gas mileage – so you can spend less on gas.
- Longer engine life. When your engine is properly lubricated and has a minimum of build-up, it can run smoother and longer.
May prevent more expensive repairs. Oil changes give mechanics a chance to find issues while they are still small and easy to fix. Skipping oil changes to save money could actually cost you big-time down the road.
How Often Should You Get Your Oil Changed?

Now that the “3 months or 3,000 miles” suggestion is no longer standard, you should check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for how often to get oil changes. Modern vehicles can often go 5,000 to 7,500 miles between oil changes, with some manufacturers recommending oil changes as infrequently as every 10,000 miles.
