Whether your car is used by a daily commuter, a weekend warrior or a leisurely driver, proper maintenance is key to keep it in the best shape possible. While car service is not a fun thing to think about, it is extremely necessary to keep things operating smoothly and to prevent further issues down the road.

One of the most important things to keep up with on your car maintenance schedule is your oil changes. Your car’s oil lubricates every moving part of your engine to lessen wear and clean debris, and as your oil becomes aged or contaminated, it can’t do its job as efficiently.

Below we will look at how regular oil changes can benefit your vehicle and why it is important to keep up with them on schedule.

How Often Should I Get My Oil Changed?

Depending on your vehicle and the type of oil used, the frequency of oil changes can vary. Many manufacturers recommend changing it at between 5,000 and 7,000 miles, with some cars being able to go up to 10,000 miles. Your car’s booklet can tell you more about what the recommended interval is.

What Are the Benefits of Oil Changes?

Because oil is pretty vital for a car’s engine to function correctly, changing the oil regularly can have a plethora of benefits for your vehicle. Some of the top ones include:

• Improving gas mileage by making your engine’s parts move more efficiently
• Reducing emissions by keeping the oil clean and preventing it from burning
• Prolonging the life of your engine by preventing sludge from building up due to dirty oil
• Providing a smooth ride by preventing any friction throughout your engine
