subject: Save Money and Make Maintenance Easier With Scheduled Services [print this page] When was the last time you had your oil changed in San Pedro? On average, Americans drive 12,000 miles each year. Unfortunately, many people either forget or ignore the importance of regularly scheduled services to prolong the life of their vehicle. When Should You Get Your Oil Change in San Pedro? Its a good question, and youll get different answers depending on who you ask. Conventional wisdom says the healthiest thing for your car is to get your San Pedro oil change every 3,000 miles or three months, but many vehicle manufacturers recommend changing the oil either every 7,500 miles or once per year. So, whats the right answer? When you read the fine print, youll see that the 7,500/one year recommendation is for vehicles that are consistently driven under normal circumstances. A closer look reveals that what most of us consider normal driving conditions is actually considered by the experts to be severe service driving conditions. Severe service driving includes stop-and-go driving in the city, frequent short trips (less than ten miles), and driving at highway speeds during hot weather.
