How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Toyota Service Mechanics
 

Your car needs proper maintenance, like routine oil changes, to keep running smoothly on the road. If you’ve recently started driving or gotten a new vehicle, you might be wondering how often your car needs its oil changed. The frequency varies depending on the exact model. Because of improved technology, most new cars nowadays can go anywhere from 7,500 to 10,000 miles before they need their oil changed! Consult your owner’s manual for the most accurate interval, and read the following guide from One Toyota of Oakland if you want to learn more about this service task! 

Recommended Oil Change Frequency 

How often should you change your oil? Some cars have a higher oil change frequency than others, and vice versa, but the general rule of thumb is to change your oil every 7,500-10,000 miles. If your drives around San Leandro or Hayward regularly include any of the types of driving listed below, you need to adjust your oil change frequencies accordingly:

  • Off-roading
  • Commercial use
  • Racing
  • Heavy towing

Oil Change Frequency Information

Would you like some oil change tips? If so, read on, and if you have questions about auto care, call the experts in the service center at One Toyota of Oakland. 

  • Check your owner’s manual to see if you should use synthetic or conventional oil on your car. Synthetic oil costs more but lasts longer.
  • Oil eventually breaks down, even when the car isn’t driven consistently. If you don’t drive often, you should still change your oil at least twice per year.
  • Make sure you change your oil filter whenever you change your oil. Our parts center can assist you in getting the right oil filter for your Toyota.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

Check your oil level at least once a month to avoid problems when you’re out and about on Alameda streets. Things like changes in your oil’s color and texture can be a sign of serious problems. If you see that you’re low on oil or need auto service, schedule service with us at One Toyota of Oakland.
