How often should I come in for an oil change service?
We know that Canton residents want to take good care of their cars, and a crucial way to do that is to get a regular LOF (lube, oil, and filter) change. Oil change frequency varies based on OEM, and local conditions. Although older vehicles may need an oil change every three months or 3,000 miles, the changes in modern engine design and manufacturing has created the need for better-quality oil, which lasts longer before viscosity breakdown.
The type of engine oil, your driving habits and the age and make of your vehicle, whether that be a Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Honda, or something else, dictate when to change engine oil. Contact Fix-It With Fred to learn when you need an oil change. One major OEM recommends that drivers with typical driving habits who own 2008 and newer models should come in for an oil change every six months or 7,500 miles (whichever comes first), and those with 2007 and older models get their oil changed every 5,000 miles or six months. Drivers with less typical driving habits should change engine oil every 5,000 miles or six months for vehicles 2008 and newer, and every 3,000 miles or three months for cars 2007 and older. Fix-It With Fred can help find the correct frequency for your vehicle in Canton, Ohio conditions.
