Oil-Changing Intervals
One of
the biggest questions that every car owner asks is how often should you change
the oil. For several years, experts have been recommending oil changes after
every 5,000 km. But ever since modern technology has come in, most auto
manufacturers recommend oil changes between 12,000 and 15,000 km.
Tips to keep your oil
clean!
- In a new
vehicle, you can trust the oil-life monitor to tell you when to change
your oil next.
- You can refer to
your car’s user manual as well for the recommended oil- change
intervals.
- You can use a
dipstick to check your oil level. If it is less, then add more oil. If it
looks dirty, then change the oil.
Make it
a habit to keep track and note down the mileage of your car whenever you change
the oil or get it done by a mechanic. Use a small notebook or manual to write
down dates and the mileage on that date to help you figure out when to change
your car’s oil next time.
