How do you know when its time to change your oil in you car.?

I was wondering because i dont want to change it if it dosent have to be done.How do you know when its time to change your oil in you car.?
Every three months or three thousand miles. It's cheaper to change the oil than it is to replace an engine. Good luck!How do you know when its time to change your oil in you car.?
depends on age of car, type of oil, driving conditions


manufactures now suggest oil changes up to 7,500 miles depending on driving conditions, if you use synthetic oil you can safely go 10,000 miles between oil change.


older vehicles stick to the 3000 mile / 3 month


no need to waste money on synthetic oil if you are already in the 100,000 mile range on your car. synthetic is expensive and you will never see a return on your investment in it.


if you drive very little you should change oil at least once per year no matter how few miles you drive.
you should change the oil every 3 or 4 months. if u dont u would probably have to replace ur engine and tat would be more expensive to pay for .
Change it every 3 months or 3,000 miles. Your gonna want to change the filter every time you change the oil as well.





In addition to writing down the odometer reading you might want to write the date on the oil filter with a Sharpie when you put it on. That way if you lose the paper you wrote the mileage on, you always have the date you changed it. (unless your oil filter falls off too Ha Ha).
well, if it's been a while since you changed it then change it now just to be safe, and then look at your odometer and write down the number. for the rest of the car's life you should change the oil AT LEAST every 5000 miles, if it's a brand new car, or you need to make it last, then every 3500-4000 miles.
You should have your oil changed every 3,000 or 4,000 miles no matter what. Look in your owners manual and see how often it recommends an oil change.
