The frequency of having your oil changed highly is a debated topic. Our oil change mechanics suggest the standard for an oil change which is every 3,000 miles. Other repair shops may suggest 7,000 miles. Regardless of which we can all agree that you need to change your oil somewhere between those numbers. If you drive 3,001 miles there is no need to panic your car will be fine. However, in order to maintain your car we suggest you stay aware of when your last oil change was, in order to avoid engine failure. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, the average American drives 13,476 miles a year depending on your age group. Whether or not you drive this much is a different story. Another tip would be to read your car manufacturer’s manual. All car manuals have information on the regular maintenance schedules for that specific automobile. The main point is to remember to have your oil changed frequently and you will keep your car happy and running smoothly. At Hughes Motors Corp we carry all types of oil synthetic and non-synthetic.
