Oil Changes: Is Every 3,000 overkill?
I was doing a pre-trip yesterday of my fluids, tires, etc and was wondering.......even though new cars are recommended waiting until 5,000 miles for an oil change, would it be wasting time/money having it done every 3,000 like the old days? Also, could it be a "bad" thing somehow, to do it every 3,000? Just curious.
I don't mind waiting every 5,000; I just tend to be OCD about staying on top of car maintenance and getting the best out of it. I have a 2010 Yaris, it's last oil change was at 29,000 and it's at almost 32,000 right now. |
