Getting your oil changed might not be the first thing on your list. Our team at South Bay Hyundai has great news, it doesn't have to be. Although you definitely want to follow the specifications of the vehicle, the old every 3,000 miles rule has been thrown out by experts. Studies have shown that cars made within the last two decades have a minimum oil life of 5,000 miles, many with a much greater number.
The automotive manufacturers and even oil companies agree that the oil should be changed less frequently. This is somewhat surprising, however, the environmental stewardship obligation that's imposed on big oil states that less waste means higher profits, and, less of a chance for a natural disaster.
If you're uncertain about your particular vehicle, simply give our Torrance, CA showroom a call, and we'll be happy to look it up. Otherwise, consult with your owner's manual for the model specific information.
