One of the best ways to keep your engine running smoothly and protecting its components, is to use the best synthetic oil in Quincy on it. However, as you may know, you should change your oil once in a while to ensure that it keeps lubricating your engine accordingly. If you aren't sure of when you need an oil change, below you'll find a few indicators that you may need one.

How to Tell if You Need an Oil Change

  1. One of the first signs that you may need an oil change is if you've driven 3k miles since the last time you changed it. However, this depends on the shape your car is in, and the conditions you drove in.
  2. Another sign has to do with your memory: if you aren't sure of the last oil change you had, it's a good idea to at least check that it's in good state. Write your oil changes down to keep track of them.
  3. A popular way to evaluate your oil's condition is to inspect its color. Normally, oil has a light brown/yellowish hue. If you discover that it's turned black, it's definitely time to change it.
  4. If you've ever ignored the "check engine" sign in your dashboard, then you should know that it's probable that it's on because you need an oil change, so get to it as soon as possible.
  5. Needless to say, if you start noticing that your engine is nosier and jumpier than usual, then you should take it to get professionally checked, and change its oil immediately.
  6. Finally, if your oil isn't at its proper level, then it will be necessary for you to top it off if you want to keep your engine functional and protected.
