How often do you have your car's oil changed?

Do you do it every $3K miles as recommended?

We try to, but we always seem to fall behind a bit.

Yep, every 3K miles or 3 months, whichever comes first.

We try to do every three thousand, but depending on what kind of oil you use, some say up to five thousand miles. I try to stay between 3 or 4 thousand, but not beyond that.

I read an article not long ago that said some automakers are recommending every 6000 miles now. But I still go every 3000, which reminds me, it's time.

Every 3 thousand mile or as close to that as I can get, cause lots of time it runs over a little.

**PrairieRose** · 01-20-2003, 08:26 PM

We do about every 3000 miles or so.

Dh just did 2 vehicles today. Mine is due soon. He's really good at keeping up with that stuff, lucky me.

**babynurse** · 01-20-2003, 09:39 PM

Yep, just got mine done today

**PennyPinchinPam** · 01-20-2003, 10:26 PM

Every 3-5000 miles here. Just had it done with a tune up not to long ago.

I change my oil every 3,000 miles and I always use a good quality oil. I also use an oil pan warmer in the winter. It makes a big difference in how well the car starts and runs.
