It depends on your vehicle and the type of oil you use. For conventional oil, we recommend changing it every 3,000–5,000 miles. If you use synthetic oil, you can go 7,500–10,000 miles between changes. Always check your owner’s manual for exact recommendations.

Regular maintenance includes:

• Oil and filter changes
• Brake inspections
• Tire rotations and pressure checks
• Battery testing
• Fluid top-offs (coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, etc.)
• Air filter replacement
• Checking belts, hoses, and wiper blades

Neglecting maintenance can lead to engine damage, poor fuel efficiency, worn-out brakes, and tire failures. Small issues can turn into expensive repairs, so it's always better to stick to a schedule.

To get the most out of your gas mileage:

• Keep your tires properly inflated
• Use the recommended motor oil
• Get regular oil changes and tune-ups
• Avoid aggressive driving (rapid acceleration and braking)
• Remove excess weight from your car
• Replace dirty air filters
