You’ve Reached a Mileage Milestone
No matter how your vehicle is running, if you’ve reached a milestone for an oil change on your schedule, it’s time to come in for service. Oil changes are preventative care, keeping your engine well-lubricated and friction-free, and they should be completed every 5,000-7,500 miles, at least. Because of this, it doesn’t do as much good to get your oil changed after problems have started to appear. Stay on top of oil changes and you will prevent future issues before they start.
Low Oil Levels
You can easily check the oil level in your car using the dipstick. Simply let your vehicle cool, then remove the dipstick and wipe it off. Insert and remove it again and inspect the sides to see the evenness and depth of your motor oil. If it’s lower than the mark for the minimum level, it’s time to come in for an oil change.
Performance Issues
Exhaust smoke, strange noises, vibration — any number of problems can be caused by oil that needs changing. If you notice issues with your performance, come in for a check-up to see if oil issues may be the problem. Your check engine light may also be warning you about the need for an oil change/
