The frequency of oil changes can depend on several factors, including the type of oil used, the make and model of the vehicle, and driving habits. Generally, conventional motor oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, while synthetic oil can last between 7,500 to 10,000 miles. However, it’s always best to refer to your owner’s manual for specific recommendations related to your car. Additionally, certain driving conditions, such as extreme temperatures, heavy towing, or stop-and-go traffic, may warrant more frequent oil changes.
