How Often Should You Change Your Oil?
Routine oil changes are vital to your vehicle’s health. Over the last decade, improvements in oil and engine technologies have helped drivers in Houston go much longer between oil changes. Most new Buick, GMC models today have an oil change frequency between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. That said, always check your owner’s manual for specifics, and if you have questions, contact Classic Buick GMC.

How often should you change your oil? Some cars have a higher oil change frequency than others, and vice versa. However, the general rule of thumb is to change your oil every 7,500-10,000 miles. If your drives around Spring or Katy regularly include any of the types of driving listed below, you need to adjust your oil change frequencies accordingly:

- Make sure you change your oil filter whenever you change your oil. Our parts center can assist you in getting the right oil filter for your Buick, GMC.
