How Long Can You Go Between Oil Changes?
The length of time between oil changes mainly depends on the type and age of the vehicle you're driving. Most newer models are recommended to have oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, while many older models are recommended every 3,000 miles. To find the exact recommendation for your vehicle, you'll want to look at the owner's manual.Can I Just Add Oil To My Car Instead Of Getting An Oil Change?
No. Your oil works very hard to lubricate, clean, and cool your engine's parts. Over time the oil will break down and get dirty. If you just keep adding new oil, this will lead to greater engine problems. The filter also needs to be changed at every oil change. The only exception is if your engine's oil is extremely low. Adding oil to your car is better than driving without oil at all.What Are The Signs Of Low Oil?

- Engine Clunking - Low oil will also cause your engine to become noisy because the parts aren't well lubricated.
- Engine Overheating - The most common issue with low oil is that the engine overheats. If that occurs, pull over and call for help.
If you notice any of these issues, stop driving and check your oil level. If it's low, contact a service center immediately.
