Engine oil reduces friction, carries contaminants and helps control heat. Its condition changes with mileage, time, traffic, temperature and engine health, so the correct interval is vehicle-specific.
What to keep in mind
- Use the viscosity and specification required by the manufacturer.
- Replace the oil filter with a suitable quality part.
- Check for leaks and confirm the final oil level.
- Reset the service reminder only after the work is completed.
If oil level drops repeatedly or the warning light appears, investigate the cause rather than simply topping up.
