Frequently Asked Questions About Oil Changes at Waldorf Dodge RAM

Regular oil changes are essential for keeping your vehicle running smoothly, and at Waldorf Dodge RAM, we're here to ensure you have all the information you need. Below are some of the most common questions we get from drivers in and around Waldorf, MD, regarding oil changes.

How often should I get an oil change?

Most technicians recommend changing your oil every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your vehicle, driving habits, and conditions. Check your owner's manual or consult with our team to determine the best interval for your car.

What could happen to my car if I don't change my oil at the recommended intervals?

If you don't change your oil regularly, it can cause your engine to run inefficiently and lead to severe engine damage. Over time, the engine may rust and break down, resulting in expensive repairs.

What is the difference between synthetic and conventional oil?

Conventional oil is derived from crude oil, while synthetic oil is made from chemical compounds. Synthetic oil generally lasts longer and provides better protection but may cost more; consult your manual to see which is best for your vehicle.

How often should I change my vehicle's oil?

The general guideline is every 3,000 to 7,500 miles or every 3 to 6 months, depending on your vehicle and oil type. Always check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's specific recommendation.

What happens if I don't change my oil regularly?

Old oil becomes less effective, leading to increased friction, reduced fuel efficiency, and engine damage. Regular oil changes are vital for maintaining engine performance and longevity.

Can I switch to a different type of oil during an oil change?

Yes, you can switch oil types, but it's important to follow your vehicle's specifications. Check your owner's manual or consult with our technicians to ensure the new oil is compatible with your engine.

Can I change my vehicle's oil myself?

Yes, you can perform an oil change if you have the necessary tools and knowledge. However, if you're unsure or want to ensure proper disposal of old oil, it's best to let a professional handle it.

How do I know when my vehicle needs an oil change?

Most modern vehicles have an oil change indicator on the dashboard. You can also manually check your oil using the dipstick; if it looks dark or dirty, it's time for a change.

What are the warning signs that my vehicle needs an oil change?

Common signs include a dashboard oil light, dark or gritty oil on the dipstick, or strange engine noises. If you notice these symptoms, it's time to schedule an oil change to prevent engine damage.
