You should change your oil or have your oil changed based on multiple factors. As a general rule, conventional oil should be changed every 3,000-5,000 miles; synthetic blend oil should be changed every 5,000-7,500 miles; and full synthetic oil should be changed every 7,500-10,000 miles.

Synthetic oil can be worth the cost depending on your vehicle type, needs, and usage. Synthetic oil is typically better, as it offers superior performance, lasts longer, and improves fuel efficiency.

There are many factors that determine how long synthetic oil lasts. As a general rule, synthetic blends should be changed every 5,000-7,500 miles, and full synthetic oil should be changed every 7,500-10,000 miles.

Skipping an oil change can lead to problems like increased friction causing engine damage, sludge buildup in the engine, overheating, reduced fuel efficiency, and other, more costly repairs.

Oil changes ensure that your engine is running smoothly by lubricating moving parts, cooling heat from the engine, cleaning away dirt and debris from the engine, and keeping engine components safe from damage.

Yes, you can go longer between oil changes with synthetic oils, as they last longer than conventional oils.

You should follow your oil life monitor rather than solely the mileage, as modern monitors are very accurate. The mileage alone does not account for other factors that can affect the life of your oil, like temperature and driving habits.

Even if you never drive your car, you should not neglect regular changes for your oil, and you should not go two years without an oil change. Regardless of usage, oil can degrade, and neglecting to change oil on a car you do drive can lead to significant damage to the engine.

An oil and filter change cost can range depending on the type of vehicle, the type of oil in the engine, and the place you are receiving services from. Shops can and should give a standard rate depending on your vehicle type and oil type, so you can ask for an estimate up front.
