Nowadays, however, most new vehicles can run fine with 5,000 miles or more between oil changes. It\u2019s important to consider some factors that may affect how often you should get an oil change.<\/p>\n<h3>Factors that affect oil change frequency<\/h3>\n<p>Oil change intervals may vary depending on the car manufacturer, make, and age. Drivers can refer to their owner\u2019s manual to find out what is recommended for their specific vehicle. Other factors include the environment in which the car is driven as well as wear and tear on the vehicle. Driving in a lot of stop-and-go traffic, towing heavy loads, off-road driving, and hot weather may require more frequent oil changes.<\/p>\n<h3>Oil changes in Listowel, ON<\/h3>\n<p>If your car is in need of an oil change near Listowel, ON, you can rely on our service professionals at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stop23.ca\/contact-stop-23-in-listowel-on\">Stop 23<\/a>.
