Oil changes are an integral part of car maintenance. The frequency at which your mineral oil should be changed can vary depending on a several factors, but typically it is recommended that the oil be changed every 3,000-5,000 miles or every 6 months. Factors such as type and quality of oil used, driving habits (city vs. highway), age of the vehicle and severity of engine wear all play a role in how often you will need to change your mineral oil.
It is important to note that when changing the mineral oil you want make sure to use high-quality synthetic motor oils specifically designed for long lasting performance in modern engines. Synthetic motor oils increase fuel economy up to 2%, reduce engine wear by 25%, and provide better protection against deposits and sludge than conventional oils do. They also help protect delicate emission systems from breakdown due to heat stress or inadequate lubrication since they last longer between changes and retain their viscosity longer over time than conventional oils do. Additionally, it’s important to consider replacing other elements during regular maintenance like air filters, drive belts, spark plugs etc., in order to keep your car running optimally over time with minimal repairs needed down the line!
