How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Adding oil to engine

The health of your vehicle is almost as important as your bodily health because the safety of you and your passengers depends on the condition of your car. Routine oil changes are vital to your vehicle’s health. Over the last decade, improvements in oil and engine technologies helped North Haven drivers to go much longer in oil change frequency. Most new Land Rover models today have an oil change frequency between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. Still, always check your owner’s manual for specifics for your make and model, and if you have questions, contact Land Rover North Haven.

Recommended Oil Change Frequency 

How often should you change your oil? Some cars have a higher oil change frequency than others and vice versa, but the general rule of thumb is to change your oil every 7,500-10,000 miles. If your drives around Branford or target_city_2%% regularly include any of the types of driving listed below, you need to adjust your oil change frequencies accordingly:

  • Off-roading
  • Commercial use
  • Racing
  • Heavy towing

Oil Change Frequency Information

Would you like some oil change tips? If so, read on, and if you have questions about auto care, call the experts in the service center at Land Rover North Haven. 

  • Check your owner’s manual to see if you should use synthetic or conventional oil on your car. Synthetic oil costs more but lasts longer.
  • Oil eventually breaks down, even when the car isn’t driven consistently. If you don’t drive often, you should still change your oil at least twice per year.
  • 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 Land Rover.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

Check your oil level at least once a month to avoid problems when you’re out and about on North Haven streets. Things like changes in your oil’s color and texture can be a sign of serious problems. If you see that you’re low on oil or need auto service, schedule service with us at Land Rover North Haven.
