Don't Believe the 3000-Mile Oil Change Myth
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.
