The Oil Change Timeline: Mileage vs. Time
Most manufacturers recommend changes every 5,000-10,000 miles or 6-12 months, but the right interval depends on several factors:
Your driving habits (frequent short trips vs long motorway journeys)
Vehicle age (older engines may need more frequent changes)
Oil type (synthetic vs conventional)
Driving conditions (stop-start city driving is harder on oil)
Pro Tip: During our full car service, we'll check your oil condition and advise on the perfect change interval for your specific vehicle and usage patterns.
Understanding Oil Changes & When You Need One
The Lifeline of Your Engine
Engine oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle - it lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, cools engine components, and cleans away harmful deposits. But like any fluid, it degrades over time, losing its protective properties and potentially putting your engine at risk. Regular oil changes are the foundation of good vehicle maintenance and are included in all our comprehensive car servicing packages.
The True Cost of Delaying Changes
Putting off oil changes might save you money short-term, but can lead to expensive consequences:
Engine sludge buildup reducing efficiency and performance
Increased fuel consumption from added friction
Accelerated engine wear on critical components
Potential engine failure requiring major engine repairs
For business owners: Regular oil changes are even more critical for commercial vans that face heavier workloads and longer operating hours.
Don't Wait for the Warning Light - Know the Signs
Your vehicle gives you clear signals when it's time for fresh oil. Watch for these warning signs:
Dark, Gritty Oil - Clean oil is amber and translucent. If it's dark black and gritty, it's overdue for change.
Engine Noise Increase - More knocking or rumbling sounds indicate poor lubrication.
Oil Smell in the Cabin - Could signal oil burning in the engine compartment.
Exhaust Smoke - More smoke than usual can indicate oil contamination or other issues that might require engine diagnostics.
Frequent Topping Up - Needing to add oil between changes suggests consumption or leaks.
Oil Change Warning Light - The most direct message from your vehicle's monitoring system.
