How often should l change the oil on my vehicle?
As a rule of thumb, you should have your oil changed every 5,000 KLMS or every 3 months for normal driving conditions. If you live out in the country where the roads are much dustier, then you should revise it accordingly to every 3,000 KLMS or every 2 months. Always check your Air filter every second oil change making sure it is clean and allow the engine to breathe properly.
The main functions of motor oil, is it lubricates metal parts that slide pass each other. This will reduce wear and prevents friction that would make the engine too hot to function properly. When there is no oil in the engine, parts then would start scraping against one another this would cause the piston’s precise machining would degrade overtime, increasing the friction, rate of wear and operating temperature. This would cause the engine to get even hotter burning all the oil off. The end results, the metal surfaces of the cylinders and piston could melt, seizing the engine and making it unsalvageable.
When the oil becomes dirtier, semi-solid dirty particulates precipitate out. The sludge can build up and clog your oil filter, not allowing oil to flow naturally through the oil filter. Without proper filtration, the oil gets dirtier quicker and this increase oil viscosity, causing to reducing the speed of your (RPM’s) engine turns.

 | | Synthetic oil, is suppose to last longer but in the end you need to change it as often as you do with regular oil because of our environment and the condition of moister getting into the oil. The only thing your doing is paying more money for oil. |
| | |  | | Thanks for the great advice Joseph. Have a great day and GO IBO |
| | |  | | Great advice as usual. Thank you. |
| | |  | | Hi Joseph! I hope that you are well. One question; what about synthetic motor oil? I have heard that you do not have to change this as often as regular oil. I usually go by the mileage. But that's just me... |
