How Often Should You Change Your Oil?
Your safety and the safety of your passengers are a priority, so you’ll want to get routine checkups on your new or used vehicle. A consistent oil change frequency is vital to your car’s longevity. Luckily, advancements in oil and engine technologies have made it so that your oil change schedule can be much more flexible. Many modern cars, trucks, and SUVs have an oil change frequency between 7,000 and 10,000 miles.

Oil Change Frequency Tips
Knowing how often you should change your oil is only half the battle. If you want to keep your oil in the best possible condition, you’ll want to take some expert advice from the certified service technicians at Dave Arbogast:
- Make sure you install a new oil filter whenever you change your oil. Our parts center can assist you in getting the right oil filter for your Buick, GMC, Ford model.
- Oil eventually breaks down, even when the car isn’t driven on a consistent basis. If you don’t drive often, you should still change your oil at least twice per year.
- Check your owner’s manual to see if you should use synthetic or conventional oil on your car. Synthetic oil costs more but lasts longer.
