How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the owner’s manual for manufacturer intervals; a common guideline for many 1.8L Toyota engines is about every 5,000 miles or every 6 months for conventional oil.
• Synthetic oil can extend intervals—often up to 7,500–10,000 miles depending on driving conditions and oil grade—yet older engines sometimes benefit from more frequent changes.
• Severe driving (short trips, stop-and-go, highway towing, extreme temperatures) calls for shorter service intervals to protect the engine.
