The engine oil and filter change is vital to your vehicle's performance. Drivers who neglect getting this service could risk serious damage to their engine and other parts of the vehicle. For that reason, drivers should regularly schedule an oil change.

Signs That Your Engine Is Due for an Oil Change

Keep an eye out for signs that indicate an oil change is needed. If you can, don't rely on only one reading. Instead, check at least two spots. You may see the oil change message or warning light appear on the dashboard. Reference the owner's manual for assistance. You can inspect the engine oil visually, as well. The oil dipstick located by the engine will allow you to check the level and condition of the oil.

Determining if Your Oil Is Old

One obvious sign that an oil change is required is the color of the engine oil itself. Engine oil that's thick and black is an indication that an oil change is needed. So, you'll know it's time for an oil change. The dashboard light in your car is designed to let you know when a required oil change is coming, not necessarily that one is needed immediately. That's why it's recommended to also check the oil visually.

It's a good idea to follow the oil change sticker given by the service technician. These are used by almost every service shop and technician. Here, you'll find mileage and date recommendations for the next oil change.
