It’s essential to keep your car’s oil changed regularly if you drive around a lot.
Typically it’s after every 5,000 to 6,000 miles or within a year’s worth of vehicle usage.
I always take my car back to the dealership where I bought it to get all of the maintenance and service work done. They’re always straight with me and they don’t lie about when I need to get work done on a component that actually doesn’t need to be replaced. I’ve had that issue taking my car to tire and lube locations in the past. They’ll make things up and convince you to get work done that is completely superfluous. But the car dealership isn’t looking to make any more money on me at this point since they sold me the car in the first place. They’re just really honest about what work actually needs to be done on my car. Thankfully my heating and cooling companies are largely the same. They sold me my HVAC system so they’re just here to help out and provide the service I pay them to do. I don’t worry about the technician lying and saying I need a new air conditioner when my current one is still good. But I also have a heating and cooling maintenance contract with this company. They service my air conditioner and furnace multiple times a year and I only pay a single flat fee to get all the work done. I realize how important this is now because my sister refused to do the same thing in her house and now her recently installed HVAC system is broken.
