Maintenance
When is your car due for an oil change?
Find the right oil specification and service interval for your vehicle, and learn which details from your last oil change to bring to the shop.

Start with your owner’s manual
Look up the oil specification and the interval for your engine. Some vehicles use an oil-life monitor. Others use a schedule based on time and distance. Follow the instructions for your model and engine.
Think about how you drive
Frequent short trips, towing and other demanding use can change the recommended interval. Check whether your maintenance guide lists a separate schedule for your driving conditions.
Find your last service receipt
The date, odometer reading and type of oil from your last visit help the shop check what’s due. If you bought the car used and don’t have a record, tell us when you book.
