Basic car maintenance is extremely important. Even if you are a low-mileage driver, you will still need to take your vehicle in for basic maintenance. You may be wondering how often you will need to change the oil. The answer to that question is it depends. It is a good idea to check the owner's manual before you get an oil change.
There are some vehicles that will need to get their oil changed every 5,000 miles. Others will be able to go 15,000 miles or more without getting an oil change. Additionally, it is time for you to look out for signs that indicate the oil needs to be changed. For example, the oil level may be lower than normal. Your engine may also be a lot noisier than others. The check engine light may be on.
