Solution

1. Refer to Owner's Manual

Locate the specific section regarding oil change intervals.
Note the recommendations for both conventional and synthetic oils.

2. Assess Driving Conditions

Determine if the vehicle is driven under normal conditions or severe conditions (e.g., towing, extreme temperatures).
For severe conditions, follow the more frequent oil change interval.

3. Select Oil Type

If using synthetic oil, the recommended interval is typically every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

Establish a maintenance reminder based on the chosen interval.
Use vehicle systems or apps to track mileage and remind for oil changes.
