Oil Change FAQs
When Should I Change My Oil?
Wondering how often you should change your oil? Experts used to say that you should get an oil change every 3,000 miles; however, these days, conventional wisdom dictates that you should get an oil changes every 5,000 – 7,500 miles. Some models can even go up 10,000 miles between oil changes, but you shouldn’t just assume your model can do that. Check your owner’s manual for a specific oil change interval for your vehicle.
Does My Car Need Synthetic or Conventional Oil?
Check your owner’s manual to see if your vehicle needs synthetic or conventional oil. Although synthetic oil generally costs more than conventional oil, that won’t affect that time required for an oil change.
Can I Perform an Oil Change Myself, and How Long Will It Take?
Changing oil yourself is doable if you’re a committed DIY-er, but it often both costs less and takes less time to seek help from a dealership like Triple J Saipan when it’s time to change your vehicle’s oil on Saipan. If you’re dead set on changing your own oil, make sure you have the following tools:
- New oil
- Oil filter
- Oil filter gasket
- Rubber mallet
- Correctly sized wrenches
- Jack
- Wheel blocks
The amount of time it will take to change your oil yourself will depend on your experience with car maintenance. It could still take less than an hour if you’re skilled, but it’ll probably take more if this is your first time changing oil.
If you’re interested in DIY vehicle care, you should also know how to check your brake fluid levels in a hurry.
