One of the most common questions we hear at Hudson Auto Care is, “How often should I change my oil?” While the old rule of changing your oil every 5,000 km was once standard, today’s vehicles, and today’s motor oils, often allow for longer intervals. However, the right schedule depends on your vehicle, your driving habits, and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Which is where our Langley Oil & Lube Service comes in to help!
Follow Your Vehicle’s Factory Maintenance Schedule
Every vehicle is designed with a factory-recommended maintenance schedule that outlines when services like oil changes, filter replacements, inspections, and fluid checks should be performed. Staying on top of these intervals helps maximize engine performance, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce the risk of costly repairs down the road.
At Hudson Auto Care, our technicians follow your manufacturer’s factory maintenance guidelines to ensure your vehicle receives the right service at the right time. Whether you drive a domestic, European, or Asian vehicle, we’ll help you keep your warranty intact while extending the life of your engine.
How Often Should You Change Your Oil?
Most modern vehicles using synthetic oil require an oil change every 8,000 to 12,000 kilometres, although some manufacturers recommend shorter or longer intervals. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, tow trailers, make short trips, or drive in extreme temperatures, your engine may benefit from more frequent oil changes.
Regular oil and filter changes remove dirt, contaminants, and old oil that can increase engine wear and reduce performance.
