Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I change my oil?
On average every 15,000 to 30,000 km or once a year, depending on engine type and oil. Diesel engines and harsh driving conditions require shorter intervals.
Can I exceed the oil change interval?
Not recommended. Used oil loses its lubricating properties and can damage the engine. Follow manufacturer recommendations.
Which oil should I choose for my car?
Check your owner's manual for recommended viscosity (e.g., 5W30, 5W40). Choose quality oil certified to manufacturer standards (ACEA, API).
Should I change the oil filter with every oil change?
Yes, the oil filter should be replaced with every oil change to ensure optimal filtration of impurities.
How much does an oil change cost on average?
Between €50 and €150 depending on oil type, quantity needed, and garage rates. Synthetic oils cost more but last longer.
