DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE TRIGGER
How often should you change your oil?
Most modern cars need an oil change every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, depending on the oil type and the manufacturer's schedule. Cars driven in heavy traffic, on short trips or in extreme heat may need more frequent changes. Your owner's manual or oil life monitor gives the exact interval for your car.

Common Question
Synthetic or conventional oil: which does my car need?
Use the oil type your manufacturer specifies. Many newer cars require full synthetic oil, and using conventional oil in those engines can affect performance and warranty coverage. Older cars that call for conventional oil can often use synthetic for longer intervals. We check the specification for your engine before every oil change.
