You may want to think twice about getting caught up in the 3,000-mile oil change myth. There’s a lot of support to skip the 3000-mile oil change and go with the manufacturer's suggestions. Most of the hype comes from the franchise and independent shops that benefit from frequent oil changes. The fact remains that the average oil change is 7,500 miles due to today’s vehicles and engine oil properties.
Changing engine oil before it’s necessary can be a costly mistake, and it can be bad for the environment as well. The right interval to change oil is always the best solution. Years ago, changing the oil at the 3,000-mile mark may have been appropriate, but not today. If you’re unsure about your own vehicle, bring it in, and our experienced technicians can point you in the right direction. We can also check to make sure your vehicle is running in top condition.
