My Vauxhall Combo Life has been running for 10,000 km now. How do I know if it needs an oil change? I'm planning to drive long distance next week and I want to make sure my car is ready for the trip.
ReplyHi Charlie, a good rule of thumb is to change your vehicle's oil every 10,000 to 15,000 km or every six months, whichever comes first. Since you're approaching the 10,000 km mark, it's recommended that you schedule an oil change before your long-distance trip. Make sure to also check your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your Vauxhall Combo Life.
Hi Charlie, it's always a good idea to regularly check your oil level and quality. If you notice that your oil is dark and dirty, it's a sign that it needs to be changed. Additionally, pay attention to any unusual noises or smells coming from your engine, as these can also be indicators that an oil change is needed.
Hi Charlie, the best way to know for sure if your Vauxhall Combo Life needs an oil change is to get it checked by a professional mechanic. They can perform an oil analysis and let you know if your oil needs to be changed. It's always better to be safe than sorry, especially before a long-distance trip!
