When Is It Time for an Oil Change?
A little routine care goes a long way. Here’s what oil does, how to think about timing, and when to ask for help.
What engine oil does
Engine oil lubricates moving components and helps manage heat. With use, oil can degrade and collect contaminants. Replacing the oil and filter at the appropriate interval helps your engine operate as intended.
How often should you change it?
There is no single distance that fits every vehicle. Your manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, the specified oil, your driving conditions and any service reminder are better guides than a universal kilometre rule.
Unsure when your last oil change was done? Check your service records or ask our team to help you work out the next step.
Something feel different when you drive?
An oil warning light, a visible leak, an unusual engine noise or a change in how the vehicle runs deserves attention. An oil change alone may not solve the problem, so tell us what you’ve noticed when you book.
