Motor oil keeps the many moving parts of your car’s engine operating smoothly to avoid undue friction, wear, overheating, and seizing. There are two types of motor oil conventional and synthetic. Conventional oil (mineral oil) is made from refined crude oil. Synthetic oil comes from the combination of synthetic or artificial chemicals with crude oil to create a petroleum product that behaves like conventional oil. For the cars of today, synthetic oil is often recommended. Synthetic oil is formulated to remain stable and long-lasting.
Now that we understand the types of motor oil, you may be wondering how often you should change your oil. Auto manufacturers used to recommend an oil change frequency of every 3,000 miles. However, the engineering improvements found in the cars of today allow drivers considerably longer oil change frequencies. But other factors such as engine type, the brand of motor oil, driving style, driving conditions, and weather may cause you to change your oil more frequently.
We recommend reviewing the owner’s manual for your vehicle to see the oil change frequency and how to check the oil in your vehicle. As mentioned before, certain driving and weather conditions throughout Fitchburg and Gardner may call for more frequent oil changes.
Now that you know how often you should change your oil, review our tips for maintaining the motor oil in your vehicle and enjoying rides throughout Clinton:
If you are still wondering how often you should change your oil, we at Ron Bouchard Nissan recommend checking your owner’s manual for model-specific oil change frequency and the type of oil to use. Also, remember to keep those additional contributing factors in mind. As a recap, some of those factors are your personal driving style, driving conditions in your area, and the weather. Ultimately, you want to keep your vehicle ready for the next Leominster driving adventure.
No matter what your oil change frequency recommendation is, the service department at Ron Bouchard Nissan can be trusted to get the job done efficiently and correctly.
