When Should You Change Your Oil?

Oil change is the most fundamental step of engine maintenance. Delayed oil changes can lead to engine wear and serious failures.

General Rules

• Mineral Oil: Every 5,000 - 7,500 km or every 6 months
• Semi Synthetic: Every 7,500 - 10,000 km or every 6 months
• Fully Synthetic: Every 10,000 - 15,000 km or every 12 months

Situations Requiring Early Changes

1. Short city driving: Frequent stop-and-go wears oil faster
2. Extreme hot or cold climate: Extreme conditions shorten oil life
3. Heavy load carrying: When the engine works harder, oil degrades faster
4. Dusty environments: More particles mix into the filter and oil

Signs You Need an Oil Change

- Engine noise louder than normal - Oil color is very dark or black - Low oil level - Oil warning light on dashboard
