That depends on your vehicle type, and how “hard” you drive it, some manufacturers suggest changing your oil every 3,000 miles but most vehicles these days should be changed between 5,000 and 8,000 miles. A small percentage of vehicles can go even longer between oil changes, depending upon a number of factors, but we don’t suggest waiting that long because motor oil is meant to keep your vehicle lubricated and functioning like a “well-oiled machine”.

If your car sits for long periods of time between uses, you’ll want to ignore the mileage and have the oil changed each year. The best advice is if your car has a diagnostic system, make sure to pay attention to the signals and bring your vehicle into Wentworth Automotive in San Diego County for an oil change within a day or two after your oil indicator light goes on.

Wentworth Automotive is pleased to offer a variety of motor oils including synthetic oils for all vehicle types and sizes.
