An oil change is an essential part of routine maintenance for your vehicle. When the motor oil in your engine is dirty or old, it may suffer from wear and tear damage, corrosion, overheating, or poor fuel economy. When you need oil service, it’s best to schedule an appointment at your Buick GMC dealer.
The frequency of your oil service depends on the type of oil in your engine. In general, conventional oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, while synthetic oil should be changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. If you aren’t sure what type of oil your Buick engine has, you can consult your owner’s manual or a Buick mechanic.
If you haven’t been keeping track of the miles since your last oil service, then you can rely on the Oil Life Monitoring System in your vehicle. This is an internal system that monitors oil levels and other factors to determine when changing the oil in your engine is necessary. The check oil light or check engine light on your instrument panel will let you know when to schedule service.
