The recommended interval for oil changes can vary depending on the specific vehicle and its manufacturer. However, a general guideline is to have your car’s oil changed approximately every 8,000 to 12,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. It’s important to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or check with the manufacturer for the exact oil change interval specific to your car, as some newer models may have longer intervals due to advances in oil and engine technology. Regular oil changes help maintain engine performance and prolong the life of your vehicle.
