Is It Time for an Oil Change?
Regular oil changes are one of the simplest—and most important—ways to protect your vehicle’s performance and resale value. According to Kelley Blue Book, staying on top of routine maintenance like oil changes can boost a vehicle’s longevity and resale potential.
At Tri City Kia, we recommend having your oil changed every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your vehicle, driving habits, and environment. Consistent oil changes help:
- Improve gas mileage
- Maintain proper engine lubrication
- Remove engine sludge and wear particles
- Regulate engine temperature
- Extend engine life
How Driving Habits Impact Oil Change Frequency
Not all drivers follow the same schedule. Your oil change needs may vary based on:
- Driving in dusty or high-altitude environments
- Exposure to extreme heat or cold
- Frequent towing or hauling
- Aggressive driving with rapid acceleration or braking
Signs Your Vehicle Needs an Oil Change
Mileage isn’t the only indicator—it’s important to watch for these signs, too:
- Dark or dirty oil
- A noisy, rough, or vibrating engine
- Oil smell inside the cabin
- Dashboard lights like “Check Engine” or “Check Oil”
