To be truly educated about a vehicle, it is important to know the type of motor oil that it takes. It is also important to understand the myths related to motor oil that may widely circulate. For instance, you may believe that motor oil has to be changed every 3,000 miles.
The truth is that you may be able to go up to 7,000 between oil changes. If you are planning on going on a long road trip, you typically don't need to change your oil unless you are getting close to the 7,000-mile threshold. However, it may still be possible to drive the vehicle safely until you get home.
At that point, it would be wise to contact our service center at Lincoln of Wayne in Wayne, NJ to schedule an oil change. Regular oil changes allow engine parts to be properly lubricated and free from dirt, metal shavings or other debris.
