Oil Change

Everyone should learn how to change oil on their car.  It is simple maintenance to keep you on the road.  Many oil change companies push the “every 3000 miles” rule like it is a 10 commandment from the bible.  Here at Hardway Learning we know that the owner’s manual tells no lies.  This is why they have engineers designing the cars inside and out.  They would not tell you the improper oil change intervals because that would only mean that their reliability can no longer be trusted.  If anything their intervals would be on the safe side to what is actually necessary.  Most cars these days only need to be changed every 7500 miles.  I personally like to change mine every 5000 miles because this is easiest for me to remember.  (120k, 125k, 135k, etc.)
