How often do I need an oil change?
It depends on your vehicle and the type of oil you use. A general rule of thumb is:
• Conventional oil: Every 3,000–5,000 miles
• Synthetic blend oil: Every 5,000–7,500 miles
• Full synthetic oil: Every 7,500–10,000 miles
When do you need to change your tires?
If your tire tread depth measures 2/32 of an inch or less, it’s time to replace your tires. A simple way to check is the penny test: insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If the top of his head is visible, your tread is too shallow, and new tires are needed.
When do you need new breaks?
Your brakes are one of the most critical safety components of your vehicle. It’s always advised that you get your breaks inspected regularly by a technician for best performance and safety however, here are some signs that indicate you may need new brakes:
