How Many Kilometers Should You Drive Before Changing Engine Oil?

[Gideon]

Generally, engine oil should be changed every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Below are the specific details: Different oil change intervals: If using mineral oil, it is typically changed every six months or around 5,000 kilometers; if using semi-synthetic oil, change every 7-8 months or around 7,500 kilometers; if using full-synthetic oil, it can be changed after approximately one year or 10,000 kilometers. Determining when to change the oil: If the three rings are clearly distinguishable, the oil can continue to be used; if the oil ring disappears, leaving only the deposit ring and diffusion ring, it is recommended to change the oil; if only the darker-colored deposit ring remains, the oil should be changed immediately.
