Oil Changes
Oil Change
frequency:
Under ideal
conditions every
7,500 miles or 6
months.
Under severe
conditions every
3,000 miles or 3
months.
24
Oil Contamination
Blow-by gases add raw
gasoline and water to the oil
causing deterioration.
Excessive heat can cause
thermal breakdown.
Excessive cranking can dilute
oil with gasoline.
Cooling gasket leaks will ruin
oil causing sludge.
25
Things That Make Oil Deteriorate
Faster
Short distance driving.
(which is most trips)
Extensive idling.
Cold weather operation.
Trailer towing.
Dirty and dusty
conditions.
