How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

May 4, 2025

Traditionally, oil changes were recommended every 3,000 miles. However, thanks to advancements in engine technology and synthetic oils, many vehicles today can go 5,000–7,500 miles between changes.

Still, it depends heavily on:

  • Your driving habits (short trips vs. highway miles)
  • Climate conditions (Houston heat, we see you ☀️)
  • Your vehicle’s make and model

The safest bet? Check your owner’s manual—or better yet, ask our experts at your next visit. Our team is trained to recommend the best maintenance schedule for your specific needs.

What’s Included in the $39.95 Full Synthetic Oil Change Offer?

We packed real value into this service to give you everything your car needs during an oil change visit:

🔧 Full Synthetic Oil (up to 5 quarts): Premium protection for modern engines, maximizing efficiency and extending life.
🔧
New Oil Filter: Traps contaminants before they can damage your engine.
🔧
20-Point Courtesy Inspection: Catch small problems before they turn into big (expensive) issues.

You get peace of mind knowing your car is cared for by experienced, certified technicians using state-of-the-art equipment.

Why Full Synthetic Oil?

We use full synthetic oil because it offers superior protection compared to conventional oils:

  • Better at high and low temperatures
  • Longer-lasting and cleaner-running
  • Improved fuel economy
  • Reduced engine wear and sludge buildup

It’s especially valuable in Houston’s climate, where intense heat can really push engines to the limit.

Routine oil changes are one of the best investments you can make in your vehicle’s longevity and performance. And with the $39.95 Full Dynthetic Oil Change Offer at Elite Auto Experts, protecting your engine has never been more convenient or affordable.
