Many automobile owners grew up hearing that engine oil should be changed every 3,000 miles, but is that still the case today? Here are some reasons why it is no longer necessary to change your engine oil every 3,000 miles:
- Synthetic Oil - This is oil that is artificially made and contains additives that help lubricate the engine and keep it cleaner, eliminating the need to change the oil as often.
- Longer Commute - Many automobile owners have to drive longer to and from work and utilize freeways; this type of driving is easier on your engine and eliminates the need to change the oil as frequently.
- Engine Technology - Engines themselves have improved technology to allow them to last longer and require less frequent oil changes.
While it is important to change your automobile's engine oil, you may not have to change it as often as you thought. Come down to Phillips Auto Group Chevrolet and let us check out your engine and advise on how often you need to come in for an oil change.
