Oil changes; can't live with them, can't drive without them. So what is a driver to do? Well, it's important to know why these routine appointments are so important and how often to have them.
Generally speaking, responsible car owners change their engine oil around 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on what your owner's manual suggests. Engine oil degrades over time, and a car's engine will destroy itself without proper oil. If you simply ignore your vehicle and don't get an oil change, the engine is likely to sludge up and seize. Some people think that frequent oil changes are unnecessary, but these people are only reducing the lifetime of their engines. Oil keeps your engine from overheating, reduces friction, and minimizes wear and tear.
