How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations in the owner’s manual, but a common guideline is every 5,000–7,500 miles for conventional oil and 7,500–10,000 miles for synthetic oil under normal driving conditions.
• Drive cycles matter: frequent towing, city stop-and-go traffic, or dusty conditions can require more frequent service — often every 3,000–5,000 miles in severe use.
• Time-based intervals are also important; if mileage is low, change oil at least every 6–12 months to prevent oil degradation.
