When to Change the Oil.

If you drive a fine German car, you’ve probably been told that you need an oil change every 3,000 miles.  This is a widely accepted standard when it comes to oil changes, but do you really need to change your engine oil after traveling exactly 3,000 miles?  Recommended oil-change intervals actually vary greatly from one vehicle manufacturer to another.

Years ago, it was a good idea to change your engine oil and oil filter frequently, but because of advances in engine materials and tighter tolerances, as well as the quality of the oil that goes into engines, today most manufacturers recommend intervals of 7,500 miles or more.  Volkswagen and Porsche, for example, recommend oil changes every 10,000 miles.
