When should I change the oil in my car?

Owning a car also means taking responsibility for its maintenance and the best possible care. One of the questions we most often ask ourselves is: when should I change the oil in my car? Well, Benecar will explain.

The first thing to remember is that you should change your car's oil every year. However, you should also pay attention to the number of kilometers you've driven since the last oil change. Depending on the type of oil used, it is advisable to change your car's oil between 10,000 and 20,000 kilometers since the last change.

To help you know when to change your car's oil, in relation to the type of oil used, here is a short guide:

• 15W40 mineral oil - change every 5,000 km;

• 10W40 semi-synthetic oil - change every 10,000 km;

• 5W40 synthetic oil - change every 15,000 km;

• Longlife synthetic oil - change between 20,000 and 40,000 km.

In short, to answer the question “When should I change my car's oil?”, you should change it every year or when you reach the kilometers suggested by the type of oil that has been applied.

At the Benecar workshop, you'll be given a document that allows you to access, at any time, the date or number of kilometers at which you should change your car's oil.
