One of the most frequently asked questions we get here at Lithia Hyundai of Reno is, “How often should you change the oil in your car?” While many say you should change your oil every 3,000 miles, advancements in engine and oil technology allow drivers to go much further before bringing it into the shop. Even new models like the 2019 Hyundai Sonata or Santa Fe, need oil changes after 10,000 miles. Check with your specific vehicle’s owner’s manual for the recommended intervals, then let the experts here at Lithia Hyundai of Reno walk you through some more oil change tips
Although it may be safe to bet that your car can go between 5,000 and 10,000 miles before needing an oil change, depending on how you drive and the type of vehicle you have, you may need an oil change sooner. If you use your vehicle for any of the following circumstances, you may have to have more frequent oil changes:
If you’re near Sparks or Fernley, then you’re close to our service center in Reno! Before you bring your vehicle in for an oil change, though, here are some more facts about automotive oil:
It’s good to at least check your vehicle’s oil level once a month so you can spot leaks or blockage. If your car has a problem with its oil, it can end up damaging other parts! Be sure to check the color of the oil in your vehicle, as well as the appearance (watch out for tiny particles in the oil). If your oil is dark and mucky, then it’s likely time to get an oil change. If this is the case with your oil, then schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible!
