Over the past nearly twenty years, the automobile industry has gone through some pretty revolutionizing changes and key among them is the engine and oil design. Vehicles today are built smarter and use the oil far more efficiently than they ever have in the past.
For most of us, vehicle owners out there the 3,000-mile oil change rule has been the thing to go by, but that is no longer the case. Many manufacturers are recommending oil changes every 7,500 miles or more depending on your driving habits. Short distance trips, extreme heat or cold, stop and go driving and frequent hauling are all factors that come in to play to work against your engine's oil, making changes a bit more frequent but anyone telling you that 3,000 miles are still the time to change your oil is simply trying to make a buck on you.
