Your vehicle’s health is as important as your health while driving around Moose Jaw. One major maintenance task is scheduling routine oil changes for your car. Due to improvements in engine and oil technology, Regina drivers can go much longer in their oil change frequency.

So, how often should you change your oil? In the following overview, the Capital Lincoln service centre team explores the recommended oil change frequency for your vehicle. If you have additional questions, contact our service staff today!

Recommended Oil Change Frequency 

How often should you change your oil around Estevan? While some Lincoln vehicles might have a higher oil change frequency, the general rule is to change your oil every 12,070 km to 16,095 km. As you’re driving around the Swift Current area, if you engage in any of the following, you’ll need to adjust your oil change frequencies accordingly:

  • Off-roading
  • Commercial use
  • Racing
  • Heavy towing

Oil Change Frequency Information

If you’re looking for oil change tips, we’ve compiled a list of the best ones from our Regina service centre technicians below:

  • Review your owner’s manual to determine if your car takes conventional or synthetic oil. Synthetic oil may cost more but will last longer. 
  • All oil eventually breaks down, even if you don’t drive your vehicle too often around Moose Jaw. Even if you don’t drive much, you should change your oil twice a year.
  • You should also replace your oil filter whenever you get your oil changed. Our parts centre can assist in getting you the right oil filter for your Lincoln vehicle.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

Review your oil level at least once a month to avoid problems when you’re driving around Estevan and beyond. Various things, including changes in your oil’s colour and texture, can indicate potential issues.
