Should sedan engine oil be changed based on time or mileage?

Sedan engine oil should be changed based on either time or mileage, whichever comes first. The method for changing engine oil is as follows: 1. Start the vehicle engine to warm it up; 2. Unscrew the oil drain bolt; 3. Remove the oil filter; 4. Apply new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter; 5. Pour the new oil into the oil pan; 6. Check for leaks under the engine and inspect the oil dipstick before starting the engine for testing. The reasons for insufficient engine oil pressure are: 1. Dirty and viscous oil prevents the oil pump from drawing and pumping oil; 2. Insufficient engine oil storage; 3. Oil becomes too thin or leaks from the engine's friction gaps.
