The common time to get an oil change has always been the 3,000-mile rule but now that we have superior oils than we used to it may not be necessary to get your oil changed as often. It is more common to get it changed every 7,500 miles these days.
It is better to not get it done as often because not only will you be saving money that you don't have to spend but it is also better for the environment as well and less wasteful too.
If you are not quite sure when you should get your oil changed you can always check in your owner's manual. You can also come see us here at Salem Ford so that we can help you to figure out what the ideal time is to get your oil changed. It can also depend on how you drive and how often as well.
