How often do you change your car oil? do you change it as per the recommended schedule given by the company? Do you keep a regular track of all maintainance done on your vehicle? Do you religiously follow this schedule or do you sometimes forget about it?

It's important to have regular maintainance schedule of your vehicle in order to extend it's life. There will be less wear and tear. The car will not break down all of a sudden someplace.

I try to change my car oil as frequently as i can. however, I am not able to change it as per the recommended schedule given by the company. the reason for this is that sometimes i have a busy schedule or some extra work, due to which i either just forget or dont have time. i do keep a track of all maintenance done on my vehicle but, again, I often do forget about going in for regular maintenance. I plan to correct this soon, though, because i know that regular maintenance and oil changes are good for the life of the engine.

You can also switch to Amsoil synthetic motor oil. They were the first company to create a synthetic oil in 1972. You can change your oil every 25,000 miles or once a year whichever comes first. You can also feel comfortable doing it because that is their warranty. I've been using it in all my vehicles for the past 14 years. Check out www.lubedealer.com/jtpeszko
