Most Frequently Asked Oil Change Questions
How often should I change my oil?
We suggest checking your vehicle’s manual to find out your manufacturer’s recommendation. Many vehicles now come equipped with service reminder monitors that will display a notification when the number of miles driven and driving conditions warrant an oil change.
Should I check my oil level between oil changes?
It’s recommended to check your oil level at least once a month, even if your vehicle monitors it. Consult your owner’s manual for instructions on how to check the oil level in your vehicle. A physical inspection is the most accurate way to determine if your oil level is sufficient.
How do I know which oil to use?
If you want, you can consult your vehicle’s manual to find out what type of oil is recommended. But our service experts will also have this information when you bring your vehicle in for an oil change.
Besides the dashboard notification, what are other signs my oil needs to be changed?
Certain conditions or problems could cause your oil to need to be changed before the recommended amount of time has passed. If you notice blue exhaust smoke, knocking sounds coming from your engine, an oil smell in the cabin, or thick or dark oil on the dipstick, we suggest bringing your vehicle in for an oil change service.
