Most oil change recommendations are based on “normal” driving conditions; however, many people drive under the definition of “severe” driving conditions, which include stop-and-go traffic, short trips of less than 5 miles, extreme temperatures, towing or carrying roof cargo systems, and coastal or mountain driving. With this in mind, we recommend consulting your owners manual for your vehicle specifics matching to your driving conditions.

However, many people drive under the definition of “severe” conditions, which can include stop-and-go traffic, short trips of less than 5 miles, extreme temperatures, towing or roof cargo systems, and coastal or mountain driving.

What Does An Oil Change Do?
Typically, an oil change includes replacing all of the engine oil in the vehicle, along with the oil filter. This helps remove contaminants that have built up over time, and also replenishes the additives in your engine’s oil.
How Does An Oil Change Help Your Car?
Over a period of use, motor oil deteriorates and becomes unable to do an efficient job lubricating, cleaning and cooling engine parts. An oil change removes contaminants from your oil, helping to keep your engine and its parts working safely and smoothly.
What Is A High-Mileage Oil Change?

These ingredients, like conditioners, seal swells, antioxidants, detergents, and wear or friction additives help prevent the four major causes of engine damage: leaks, deposits, sludge and friction.
