Oil Change Tips

Now that you know about the average oil change time to expect, keep these other tips in mind when it’s time for an oil change around Red Bank:

  • With the advancement in automotive technology, new vehicles can go around 5,000- 7,500 miles between oil changes. Some models can even go around 10,000 miles between changes. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for your model’s recommended schedule. 
  • Be sure to check out our service specials for discounted oil service and other services.
