I've been driving my Toyota Camry for about a year now and I'm wondering when I should go about changing the oil. I've heard various recommendations, from every 3 months to every 7,500 miles. What's the best approach for maintaining the health of my car's engine?
ReplyHi Emily, it's always a good idea to follow your car's recommended maintenance schedule. For your Toyota Camry, the manufacturer suggests changing the oil every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. Sticking to this schedule will help keep your engine running smoothly.
Hey Emily, if you tend to drive in more extreme conditions (such as extreme heat or cold), it's a good idea to change your oil more frequently, around every 5,000 miles. Also, keep an eye on your oil level and if it starts to get low, it's a sign that you need to schedule an oil change.
Hi Emily, here's a general rule of thumb for oil changes: Every 3 months or every 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, with newer cars and better quality oils, you can sometimes extend that to every 5,000 miles. Just make sure to check your owner's manual for your specific car's recommendations.
