Having the oil changed in your car is one of the most common -- and most important --maintenance tasks. Changing your oil regularly will help your car run better, as well as help to make it last longer. To know when to have your oil changed, it is best to follow your vehicle's specific recommendations.
For the longest time, the standard advice was to have your oil changed every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever came first. You certainly won't hurt your car by following this schedule, but you may spend more money than you need to. Many newer cars only need oil changes every 5,000 miles, so it is important to consult your owner's manual to find the right schedule for your vehicle.
