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

I just bought a used Vauxhall Vivaro and I'm not sure if the oil has been changed recently. What are some signs that my van needs an oil change?

One way to tell if your Vauxhall Vivaro needs an oil change is to check the color and consistency of the oil. If it is dark and thick, it is time for a change.

You can also check the mileage on your van. Typically, it is recommended to change the oil every 5,000 - 7,500 miles. If you're close to that number, it's a good idea to get an oil change.

Listen for any strange noises coming from your engine. If you hear knocking or ticking sounds, it could be a sign of low or dirty oil.

It's always a good idea to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for oil change intervals. However, if you frequently drive in harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures or dusty roads, you may need to change your oil more often.
