How do I know if my Vauxhall Corsa needs an oil change?

I recently bought a used Vauxhall Corsa and I'm not sure how often I need to change the oil. What are the signs that indicate I need to get it changed and how often should I do it?

You should aim to change the oil in your Vauxhall Corsa every 6 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Some signs that indicate you need an oil change include a persistent check engine light, strange noises coming from the engine, and a noticeable decrease in performance.

Another way to determine if your Vauxhall Corsa needs an oil change is to regularly check the oil dipstick. If the oil level is low or the oil appears dirty and dark, it's time for a change. Remember, it's always better to change the oil more frequently than not enough.

As a general rule, you should always follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for oil changes. This can usually be found in your owner's manual. If you're still unsure, it's always best to consult with a trusted mechanic or dealership for personalized advice.
