Oil, Lube and Filter Service How often should I change my oil?Most vehicle manufacturers recommend changing the oil every 3 months or 5000km in passenger car and light truck gasoline engines.A new engine with little or no wear can probably get by on
10,000km oil changes. But as an engine accumulates kilometers,
blowby increases. This dumps more unburned fuel into the crankcase
which dilutes the oil. This causes the oil to break down. So if the
oil isn't changed often enough, you can end up with accelerated wear
and all the engine problems that come with it (loss of performance
and fuel economy, and increased emissions and oil consumption).
