Chinese New Year Promotion!!!

Regularly changing the engine oil is very important for the maintenance of your car. If it is not changed when it's suppose to, it can lead to problems for the engine. Nowadays, many car manufacturers have improved the safety of cars, but regularly changing the engine oil is still part of important maintenance that cannot be overlooked.

Most manufacturers recommend changing engine oil every 3000 miles or 3 months, whichever happens first. This is to be on the safe side, so all you have to do is monitor the mileage. This is very easy and convenient for you. When the car hits 3000 miles, just take it to the dealer, local engine oil change shop, or change the oil yourself.

Some engine oil can even go longer than the recommended 3000 miles or 3 months. In fact, most cars made recently will state on the owner's manual how often to change the engine oil. It is very important to follow the manufacturers' recommendation. When the car is older with no owner's manual, then change it every 3000 miles or 3 months to be on the safe side.

Another indicator that the oil needs to be changed is by looking at the color of the oil. Use the dipstick to find out both the level and color of your engine oil. The color should be transparent and light amber. Older oil is darker in color. If your engine oil is black, it should be replaced immediately to avoid damage to the engine.

Synthetic oil can last even longer than regular oil. It is normally a big more expensive. Many owners wanted to use synthetic oil because the time interval between oil changes and it saves on the hassle of running down to the car dealer or car maintenance shop.

When changing the engine oil, you must also replace the oil filter as well. Your vehicle's owner's manual has the specified oil filter you must use for the car.
