Oil Changes Every 3,000 Miles for Preventive Maintenance and to Protect Your Vehicle’s Engine
It is simple to schedule an oil change in Arlington, TX at your local Driver’s Edge shop. We recommend having your oil changed every 3,000 miles or three months, the standard recommended by most industry experts. Your oil change schedule may be different based on your vehicle’s age and your driving habits and conditions. Our technicians will be glad to provide oil change advice for your vehicle’s make and model.
Many people fail to protect their car’s engine because it’s one more thing to remember in their busy schedule. But if you’re running dirty oil through your engine, the oil thins and becomes abrasive to important engine parts. Instead of doing its job to lubricate, the old oil begins to wear down engine parts. Your technician can help you add regular oil changes to your other routine maintenance visits to save you time.
There are also some other factors that may require more frequent oil changes:
- You drive an older vehicle.
- You drive in an area with dusty conditions.
- You drive more than the average number of miles on a regular basis.
- Your driving is often done in extreme weather conditions, either hot or cold.

Arlington Oil Change FAQs
How long does an oil change take?
At Driver’s Edge, we perform oil change services on all make and model vehicles. The time that it will take your exact vehicle to receive an oil change will depend on a few factors:
- Make and model: The amount of time an oil change takes can vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Some vehicles have larger oil reservoirs, which take longer to drain, while other types of vehicles have oil filters and spaces that are difficult to access. These variables play a role in the length of time that it may take to perform an Arlington oil change service on your vehicle.
- Appointment: To receive the fastest oil change service, we strongly recommend making an appointment. While we welcome walk-in customers, having an appointment ensures that your vehicle can be serviced as quickly as possible.
Will my car run better after an oil change?
Many drivers may notice that their vehicle runs more smoothly and achieves better fuel economy after an oil change. This is because motor oil is responsible for providing vital lubricating and cooling properties to the many moving parts inside your engine. As your oil ages, it begins to lose its protective and lubricating properties. You may notice your engine idling roughly, achieving less than optimal fuel economy, and even accelerating more slowly. An oil change may remedy these issues.
It’s important to note that an oil change will not fix engine damage or other mechanical failures that may have occurred with your vehicle. If your check engine or oil warning light is illuminated, we recommend bringing your vehicle in for service at your earliest convenience.
How do you know if you need your oil changed?
Many drivers adhere to the adage of changing their oil every 3,000 miles. The frequency at which your vehicle will need an oil change depends largely on your vehicle’s manufacturer’s recommendations and the type of oil that it uses.
To find exactly how often your vehicle needs an oil change, we recommend that you refer to your vehicle owner’s manual. There, you’ll find your vehicle’s factory-recommended maintenance schedule designed to keep your vehicle running at its best throughout its lifetime. If you don’t have a copy of your vehicle owner’s manual, we recommend searching online for a digital copy. Many manufacturers have released digital copies of their vehicle owner’s manuals free of charge.
If you’d like more personalized advice, feel free to reach out to our service center. Our service advisors would be more than happy to provide you with our recommendations for the best care of your vehicle.
How often do you really need an oil change?
The frequency that a vehicle will need an oil change will depend largely on the type of oil the vehicle uses. Because the three main types of oil provide different types of protection, they typically feature three different oil change intervals:
Conventional oil: Conventional oil is made from refined crude oil and offers the most basic protection for your engine. This type of oil typically needs to be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
High-mileage oil: Commonly known as synthetic blend oil, this type of oil is typically formulated for engines with more than 75,000 miles. High-mileage oil offers better protection than conventional oil and typically features a change interval of 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
Full synthetic: This type of oil offers the best protection and typically features a change interval of 7,500 to 10,000 miles.
