Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Change My Oil?
The frequency of oil changes depends on your vehicle’s make and model, driving conditions, and the type of oil used. Usually, conventional oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, while synthetic oils can last up to 7,500 miles or more.
Albuquerque’s varied climate might require more frequent changes to keep your engine protected. Review your owner's manual or consult with our technicians at Christian Brothers Automotive for a schedule tailored to your car.
What Are the Signs That I Need an Oil Change?
Listen for increased engine noise, notice any loss in performance, check for the oil change light on your dashboard, or see if your oil looks dark and gritty. Any of these signs means you should schedule an oil change soon to avoid damage and higher repair bills.
Why Is Synthetic Oil Better for My Car?
Synthetic oil delivers more effective engine protection and stays cleaner under tough driving conditions. It lasts longer in the heat, which benefits many Albuquerque drivers. Our team can discuss synthetic options and help you decide if it works for your vehicle and driving habits.
