REASONS FOR REDUCED OIL CHANGE TIME
How often should engine oil be changed? It would seem that the answer is obvious: look at the instruction manual. However, the timing of the replacement directly depends on the driving style and conditions, as well as the condition of the car and even the type of oil used. According to auto experts, the following reasons contribute to the reduction of the manufacturer's recommended oil change period: • Dusty roads • Prolonged low temperatures • Short trips up to 16 km (city, start-stop mode) • Standing in traffic jams • Infrequent driving (for example, “snowdrops”) • Trailer towing • Frequent driving on the most loaded car • Mountain riding • Poor fuel quality ⠀
