Most modern vehicles need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, though some newer models with synthetic oil can go 10,000 miles or longer. Always check your owner's manual for the exact interval your vehicle recommends-it's the best guide for your specific model.

Regular oil changes keep your engine clean, protect moving parts, and help your car run smoothly and last longer. Neglecting them can lead to engine damage and costly repairs.
