How to Determine When to Change Engine Oil for Your Car

[McReagan]

Generally, you can determine whether the engine oil should be changed based on usage time and mileage, which is a relatively simple method. The relevant details are as follows: 1. For fully synthetic oil, it is recommended to change it every six months or every 8,000 kilometers. For semi-synthetic oil, it is recommended to change it every 6,500 kilometers or every three months. 2. The performance of engine oil will degrade over time, so it needs to be changed regularly. If the oil is not changed for a long time, it will accelerate engine wear. When changing the oil, it is not recommended to use a machine to extract the oil, as this method cannot remove all the old oil. Instead, it is advisable to lift the car with a jack and drain the oil completely before adding new oil.
