When u change car oil does it have to be 5000 miles or 3 months or just 5000 miles to stay in the warranty ty?

you got it wrong, it's 3 months or 3,000 miles.When u change car oil does it have to be 5000 miles or 3 months or just 5000 miles to stay in the warranty ty?If your warranty says 5000 miles OR 3 months, it means whichever is EARLIER. So either 3 months if you drive less than 5000 miles, or when 5000 miles is driven, even before the 3 months period expires.

I do mine between 3000 miles and every 3 months.....

depends on what color the oil looks like when you check it.



My brother's car is soo good, he can wait up to 5 months, because the oil is NEW looking when he touches the end of the dipstick, rubs it in between his fingers, and sees its next to clear!!
You should change your oil every 3 months or every 5000 miles. So even if you only go 2000 miles in that 3 months you should still have the oil changed.



Before many of the new synthetic oils came onto the market it was recommended that you change your oil every 3000 miles or every 3 months. I still do this to all of my cars.
It needs to be every 5000 miles or 3 months, whichever is sooner. If you only drive your car 5000 miles a year, you still need to change the oil 4 times a year in order to meet your warranty requirements.



However, not changing your oil at the required interval should not affect the warranty of any part not affected by lack of oil maintence (eg. transmission issues)
Ok, first understand that auto manufacturers and petroleum companies are in bed together and have been since day one. So, a question, if oil can sit in the ground for millions of years, why does it go bad in your car in three months? Answer, it doesnt... and especially todays highly advanced oils.



Most oils today are good for around 5000 miles. This will vary according to your driving habits and the load your engine is under during operation (like towing boats, off road 4X4's). If you are only driving 20-30 miles per day (city driving), you are accumulating only 1800 miles in a three month time period. Keep an eye on the oil, if it starts looking dirty (opaque instead of translucent) change it if not go for the 3000 to 5000 mark. Of course all of this is fodder if you have warranty stipulations on oil changes.
shifty67 is right they are in it for the money oil starts to breakdown at about 8,000 miles and can sit for years.
