Car Oil Changing Benefits Engine Life, Myths Lies, and Truths. The myth of car oil changing at 3000 miles or 5000km is a lie. Your car has a service schedule and it’s written in black and white how often you need car oil changing.

Why?

The fuel and oil filter will eventually clog up fail blocking fuel flow and reduced engine performance and then damage your engine. This why having the oil changed at the recommended time is essential. Otherwise you are waisting $MONEY$

When?

Many newer cars do not have to be changed until 15000 miles or 8,000 km or higher than that is the case of some newer European models. Having clean engine oil is important, but we are conditioned to believing in the 5000-mile myth by the big oil companies. Read your manual it’s right in the maintenance schedule.
