How Long Does It Take to Change Car Oil?

[McThomas]

How often car oil needs to be changed depends on the type of oil. Here are the guidelines: 1. Mineral oil generally needs to be changed every six months or after driving about 5,000 kilometers; 2. Semi-synthetic oil should be changed every 7 to 8 months or after about 7,500 kilometers; 3. Full synthetic oil should be changed once a year or after about 10,000 kilometers. Additional information: The method for changing oil is: 1. Run the engine to reach operating temperature; engage the handbrake and lift the vehicle; unscrew the filter and drain the oil; apply new oil to the interface gasket of the new filter; 2. Pour the new oil into the oil pan; check for leaks under the engine; lower the vehicle, check the oil dipstick, and start the engine; turn off the engine and recheck the oil level.
