When Should You Get Your Oil Changed?

Getting your oil changed regularly is one of the simplest ways to protect your engine and avoid costly repairs. For most vehicles, it’s recommended that your oil be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. However, driving habits and conditions can affect how often your vehicle needs service. You should also watch for warning signs such as:

  • Dark, dirty, or gritty oil on the dipstick
  • Check engine light is on
  • Louder engine noise or knocking
  • A burning oil smell inside the cabin

At Dowdy’s Automotive, our ASE-certified technicians can check your oil condition and maintenance schedule to recommend the right service interval for your specific vehicle. We’ll help you stay ahead of routine maintenance so your engine continues to run smoothly mile after mile.

Motor Oil Quick Guide

Conventional oil is the most affordable option and helps keep older or low-mileage vehicles running smoothly with reliable basic protection. Synthetic blend oil offers better engine performance and temperature control at a moderate cost, making it a great balance of value and protection for everyday drivers. Full synthetic oil provides the highest level of protection, improved fuel efficiency, and longer intervals between changes, keeping modern engines cleaner and performing at their best. Dowdy’s technicians can help you choose the right oil based on your vehicle and driving habits.
