me to change my oil after another 3,000 miles. I checked my owner’s manual, which says I should change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles. Who do I believe?
. Congratulations on having
gone to the trouble of looking up JL Ayour question in the owner’s manual. You may have noted the manufacturer’s definition of “severe service,” more stop and go driving and other factors that require more frequent oil changes.
The longer interval is based on ideal conditions, i.e. steady driving in moderate temperatures. More often than not, the 3,000-mile oil/filter change is a good idea for extending the life of your vehicle. It’s inexpensive insurance; stick with it.
