When Do I Need to Change My Oil?

Whether you own a brand new Honda or a pre-owned model, its warning lights can indicate when it's time to change your oil, so pay attention to them! You can also consult your Honda's owners' manual for a maintenance schedule, which will include oil changes, tire rotations, and other fluid replacements and maintenance tasks that will keep your Honda in running shape.

As a rule of thumb, aim to have your oil changed about once a year. When you bring your Honda to the service technicians here at Team Honda, you get the peace of mind that comes from expert service trained at the factory. We can change your oil filters, reset your warning lights, and give you advice on your Honda, too!

What Are the Benefits of an Oil Change?

Staying up to date on oil changes and routine maintenance is the best way to ensure your vehicle stays running smoothly throughout its lifespan. While every vehicle is different, the typical guideline for oil replacement is between 7,500 and 10,000 miles—which most people drive in about a year. If you drive often in harsh conditions or off-road, we recommend coming to see us sooner.

• Ensuring your engine doesn't overheat
