How often should you change your oil?
Modern engines on full synthetic oil typically go 7,500–10,000 miles (or 12 months) between changes, but your car's exact interval and a 'severe service' schedule can be shorter.
Why it matters: Old oil loses its ability to protect and cool the engine; running past the interval accelerates wear and can void warranty claims.

FAQ
How often should you change your oil?
Modern engines on full synthetic oil typically go 7,500–10,000 miles (or 12 months) between changes, but your car's exact interval and a 'severe service' schedule can be shorter.
Why does change your oil matter?
Old oil loses its ability to protect and cool the engine; running past the interval accelerates wear and can void warranty claims.
Does the interval vary by car?
Yes — exact intervals differ by make, model and driving conditions. See the per-model table on this page and always confirm with your owner's manual.
General guidance — confirm the exact interval in your vehicle's owner's manual.
