Oil change intervals depend on several factors including your vehicle type, oil type, and driving conditions. Most modern vehicles using synthetic oil can go 7,500-10,000 miles between changes, while conventional oil typically requires changes every 3,000-5,000 miles.
However, severe driving conditions like frequent short trips, stop-and-go traffic, extreme temperatures, or towing may require more frequent changes. We always recommend following your manufacturer's guidelines and will provide personalized recommendations based on your specific vehicle and driving habits.
