How to know when you need an oil change?

To keep your car and engine in great shape, you must make regular oil changes a top priority. By changing your oil every 3,000 to 10,000 miles, you can ensure that your vehicle lasts as long as possible. Immediate signs that you need an oil change include:

• Your engine check light is on: An obvious one but it often goes unnoticed. Engine light on doesn’t necessitate that your car is failing but it is an indication that your engine’s parts are not moving correctly. Oil changes fix that problem and mechanics can check to see if your car is functioning properly.
• Your fuel economy is lower: When the vehicle is not properly lubricated, you will spend more time at the gas tank because the engine will be working harder
