When you got your first car, your parents likely gave you sound advice about how to care for your vehicle. One of the things that you may have heard is that you need to get the oil changed on your car every 3,000 miles. However, this may not be entirely true anymore.
This myth used to have a little more truth to it since the way that automobiles were manufactured in the past required an oil change once the cars had been driven for but 3,000 miles. However, since the technology associated with manufacturing cars has advanced significantly. These days, your car can go about 7,500 miles before you need to have the oil changed.
When you take your car in for an oil change, make sure that you ask the mechanics at David McDavid’s Plano Lincoln to check the car and make sure that there are no leaks, cracks or other issues in the car that will cause you to have to get the oil changed more often!
