re: How often do you change the oil in your vehicle

Hyundia Tuscon new and mileage is right around 12k and change now

Fuel filter gets chanced too

$300 for both

I go every 3,700 miles. I know I can go longer but I'm tryna keep that warranty in tact because I drive a lot.

Tell her the engine manufacturers and the car makers that provide the warranty know a good bit more about oil change intervals than the minimum wage technicians at Jiffy Lube. Always follow the manufacturers guidelines.

I have always followed the manufactures recommendations and it has never let me down. You can extend it if your car normally does not take synthetic and you replace it with synthetic. I am noticing the newer cars are using a pure synth or synth blend.

I remember when I was kid having to change the oil in my parents car, every 3000 miles I was under that car draining the oil and changing the oil filter.

Does she always buy whatever salesmen tell her to? Bc that is exactly what she is doing with this oil situation.

Used to do 10,000 on the car that took synthetic. Well, more like every 2,500 cause that engine ate oil up like a MF. Just replaced the oil ever 10,000.

For the Prius, 7-8,000. I feel like 5,000 is a money grab unless you have an older vehicle. These days all cars are so efficient that 5,000 is for the guy that worries too much.
