Oil changes are one of the most important maintenance tasks. Most modern vehicles need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every 6 months-whichever comes first. However, some newer models can go 10,000 miles or longer between changes. The exact interval depends on your vehicle's make, model, and engine type.

Check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's specific recommendation for your car. Castle CDJR of Naperville's Service Department can review your vehicle's schedule and get you on a routine that keeps your engine running smoothly. Regular oil changes protect your engine, improve performance, and help maintain your vehicle's value.
