\"girlHow Often Should You Check Your Oil?<\/h3>\n

Ideally, you should check the oil in your vehicle about once a month. Depending on how much you drive, you might be able to get away with going 2 months. It always seems like the most difficult part of checking your oil is actually remembering to do it. We recommend picking a certain day, such as the 21st of each month or third Saturday, and mark it on a calendar or set a reminder in your phone. Once you have completed the task, write it down in a notebook, along with any observations, so you can keep track and verify if need be.<\/p>\n

What Should I Be Looking for When I Check My Oil?<\/h3>\n

Checking your oil is a very easy task that simply involves pulling out the oil dipstick and seeing if the oil level is closer to the \u201cfull\u201d or \u201clow\u201d end. You then add oil as needed. In addition to checking the level, observe the coloring of the oil. If it is dark brown or black (the color of fresh oil will be amber), you are in need of an oil change. Oil changes are typically performed every 3 months or every 3000 miles.<\/p>\n
