When Was the Last Time Your Car Had an Oil Change?
February 5, 2026
0Most modern vehicles need an oil change every 5,000–7,000 miles to stay in good condition. At Real World Automotive, we use high-quality oil rated for up to 7,500 miles.
Protect your engine and keep your car running at its best
Your engine depends on clean oil to operate smoothly and efficiently. Over time, engine oil breaks down and collects dirt and debris, which reduces its ability to protect vital components. Regular oil changes help reduce engine wear, control heat, and prevent costly damage that can build up over time.

Why Oil Changes Matter
Fresh oil plays a critical role in keeping your engine healthy. It helps to:
-
Reduce friction between moving parts
-
Carry heat away from the engine
-
Keep internal components clean
-
Improve overall engine performance
-
Extend the life of your vehicle
Skipping oil changes or waiting too long can cause oil to lose its effectiveness, which may lead to overheating, poor performance, or expensive repairs.
How Often Should You Change Your Oil?
While your vehicle’s owner manual is the best guide, a good general rule is:
-
Every 5,000–7,500 miles for most vehicles
-
More frequent changes if you drive in heavy traffic, tow loads, or take many short trips
Staying on schedule is one of the simplest ways to avoid major engine issues.
