How long can i go without an engine oil change when it says to get an oil change and where can i go to get one?Change Engine Oil Question?this other guy Brandon is wrong the 3,000 miles oil change is a scam/myth today its recommended that you change your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles and do not get your oil changed at jiffy lube they'll scam you too like me and Luke we both have the right answersChange Engine Oil Question?The life of oil depends a lot on the driving conditions. city driving, winter driving, towing and racing all shorten the effective life of the oil.
The light on most cars that tells you to change your oil just counts how many miles you have driven since you last changed your oil, it doesn't really tell you the condition of the oil. Some newer cars actually do monitor the condition of the oil.
What I would recommend doing is to have the oil changed, then have the shop write the mileage at which you need to change again somewhere where you will actually see it. Or you can actually use the light and just change whenever it comes back on.
Wal-mart and Sears both do oil changes. There are also chains that specialize in oil changes and most local mechanics also do oil changes.Change Engine Oil Question?3000 or every 6 months is now a myth. It used to be true but now we have more advanced oils that can last much longer that the oils back in the day when the 3000 mile was established. Depending on the brand you buy you can go all the way to 10,000 miles on one oil change. I personally would not recommend this i wouldn't go much more than 5,000 miles on a change.Change Engine Oil Question?well, it depends on what ur talking about, if its a car/truck then you should change the oil eve 3000 miles but if ur overdue then you should get it changed you don't have to be in a hurry but u should get it changed before another 100 milesChange Engine Oil Question?You can go at least until you run out of gas.
