You\u2019ve perfected your pumpkin pie recipe. You\u2019ve bought the kids matching turtlenecks. You\u2019ve practiced your fake smile for the in-laws. You\u2019ve got the oil chan- OH NO! THE OIL CHANGE! You\u2019ve completely forgotten about the oil change!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The one task you always seem to forgot. And furthermore, it\u2019s the one task you never know how often to do. In this week\u2019s You Auto Know, we offer our recommendations on when to change your oil and the benefits of synthetic oil.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>WHEN TO CHANGE?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When is it time to change the oil? Every 3000 miles? 5000? 10,000? Well, it depends. There is no one-size-fits-all-rule when it comes to your engine\u2019s oil. In fact, the best place to look for an answer is in your vehicle\u2019s manual. (Yes, the manual!) Here, you will find the optimal mileage recommendation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is your Wrangler only a weekend car? Put low-miles on your 300? If yes, then there are some caveats to the manual approach. The longer oil sits in your engine, the more it degrades after mixing with gas contaminants. Thus, you will need to change your oil before you hit this milage recommendation. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>BENEFITS OF SYNTHETIC OIL <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heard of synthetic oil, but not sure what\u2019s it about? Unlike conventional mineral oil, synthetic oil has been refined, purified, and distilled. As a result, more impurities have been removed, offering your engine better protection and performance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Synthetic oil also works better in cold weather, while extending your engine\u2019s longevity. As an added bonus, you don\u2019t have to change your oil as frequently. But, there\u2019s a catch &#8211; a synthetic oil change is twice the cost of a conventional oil change. However, looking long term, synthetic oil remains a strong return on investment.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Need an oil change? \u00a0Click <a href=\"http:\/\/tobeyauto.com\/service\/\">here <\/a>to make an appointment with our top-rated service department. <\/strong><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOBEY AUTO GROUP &#8211; The holidays are just around the corner and you are ready.
