Oil Change Frequencies
Commercial vehicles have different oil change 
frequencies than consumer vehicles. A typical 
consumer vehicle might change their oil every 
3,000 miles. However, a commercial or semi 
truck will often wait until they’ve driven 
25,000 miles. Despite this, a semi truck is 
likely to have driven more than 25,000 miles 
sooner than a typical car will have driven 
3,000.
What Determines Oil Change Frequencies
• If you’re driving more efficiently, you won’t need to change your oil as 
frequently.
• There are also some external factors, such as road quality, climate and the 
pollution of the environment.
• Driving on poorer quality roads, travelling through multiple climate zones.
How Often Should You Change Oil
In general, you want to change your oil at 
least every 25,000 miles. You might have to 
change your oil more often, up to every 
13,000 miles, depending on your 
circumstances.
Get A Longer Life Out of Your Oil

follow these guidelines:
