How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

oil change on a car

The health of your vehicle is important, not only for your safety, but for your savings and maintaining the longevity of your model. One step in your maintenance routine is an oil change. Over the last decade, improvements in oil and engine technologies help Kingman drivers have extended intervals of oil change frequency. Most new Ford models today can go between 7,500 and 10,000 miles before needing an oil change. Nonetheless, always check your owner’s manual for specifics for your make and model, and if you still have questions, contact Anderson Ford Kingman.

 

 

Oil Change Frequency: Recommendations

How often should you change your oil? While a few cars may have a higher oil change frequency than others and the opposite is true as well, keep in mind that the general intervals should be about 7,500-10,000 miles. If your drives around Golden Valley or Dolan Springs regularly include off-roading, commercial driving, racing or heavy towing, then you may need to change your oil more often.

Oil Change Frequency: Information & Tips

If you are looking for some oil change tips, then keep reading, and be sure to contact our service experts at Anderson Ford Kingman if you still have questions:

  • Check your owner’s manual to see if your vehicle requires synthetic or conventional oil on your car. Synthetic oil costs more but lasts longer.
  • Oil eventually breaks down, even if the car isn’t being driven on a consistent basis. If you don’t drive often, you should still change your oil at least twice per year at minimum.
  • Make sure you change your oil filter whenever you change your oil. Our parts center can assist you in getting the right oil filter for your Ford.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

Even if it’s not the month for an oil change, you should check your oil level at least once a month to prevent any problems while you’re out and about on Hackberry roads. If you notice any changes in your oil’s color and texture, this could be a serious problem. If you see that you’re low on oil or need auto service, schedule service with us at Anderson Ford Kingman today.
