How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

If there is one thing that Guaynabo-area drivers likely hear repeatedly, they must get regular oil changes. While bringing your car in for oil changes may seem like a hassle, doing so is essential for your vehicle’s overall health and longevity. The oil change frequency for your Lexus car or SUV depends on a few factors, including your driving habits. How often should you change your oil? Learn more with our team at Lexus de San Juan!

Recommended Oil Change Frequency 

How often should you change your oil? First and foremost, your recommended oil change frequency is based on the type of oil your vehicle’s engine requires. An older, used Lexus model may require conventional oil, meaning oil changes every 3,000 miles or so. Meanwhile, new Lexus models use synthetic oil, which can be changed less frequently, approximately every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. You can check your owner’s manual for guidance for your vehicle or contact the Lexus de San Juan service center for more information.

Of course, your oil change frequency may also be impacted by the following types of driving:

• Off-roading
• Commercial use
• Racing
• Heavy towing

If any of these apply to you, you will likely have to complete oil changes more often.

Oil Change Tips

Below are oil change tips and best practices, which are important as you determine how often you should change your oil.

• Use the right type of oil. Your owner’s manual will have the information you need.
• Oil breaks down over time, even if you don’t drive your car consistently in Caguas. That means you should still change the oil at least twice a year.
• Replace your oil filter with each oil change. Our parts center can assist you in getting the correct oil filter for your Lexus model.
• Check oil levels at least once a month, paying attention to changes in your oil’s color and texture.
