Changing your oil regularly is critical to maintaining your vehicle’s health. How often should you change your oil? It was once recommended that oil changes should be performed every 3,000 miles. However, this has changed in recent years as automotive and motor oil technology has advanced. Now, when it comes to oil change frequency, most vehicles can go between 7,500 and 10,000 miles between oil changes. Be sure to look at your owner’s manual to see what the manufacturer suggests. Are you interested in performing an oil change on your own? Jackson Family of Dealerships has provided the steps you need to successfully complete this task.
Before you can start performing an oil change, you will need to find the following items: Box end or socket wrench, oil filter wrench, oil drain pan, funnel, latex gloves, jack/jack stands, oil, oil filter, and replacement drain plug washer.

In addition to checking the oil level at the time you perform an oil change, you should also check the oil level at least once a month. This can help you catch any leaks before they cause bigger problems. At the time, you will also want to check the oil’s color and see if it has been contaminated with dirt and debris. If so, the oil should be replaced. Set up an appointment with Jackson Family of Dealerships today.
