How many miles is it safe to drive after your car needs an oil change?

if its an old car... like a 1990 or so then I would make sure to do it every 3000, but if its newer you can hold out until around 6000.

First, You are kind of a dick for making your parents take care of your car but they raised you so it is probably the natural order.

Otherwise unless you drove 6k past the interval, it is no big deal... Believe me I have listened to some of the biggest cry baby lube tech's wine about someone going 6 hundred miles past the mileage on the window sticker, but just as anyone else they just want to have control over their niche in society.

Florida is not really a very harsh environment for a car so it is no big deal unless the engine started knocking because it got low on oil.

short journeys is what reasons oil to interrupt down ie moisture in the oil.you're making long journeys so as that ought to no longer be a difficulty. for my area i exploit man made motor oil and that i alter the oil myself.I often run it between 9000-ten thousand miles and that i exploit an prolonged existence clear out.the substitute oil will expenses you extra at an oil substitute place yet i think of the expenses will out weigh the inconvenience. at present's motor oils are lots extra efficient than they was once even the commonplace oil.My spouse had a camry that we positioned over 200000 miles on. We had regular upkeep and that i did positioned a timing belt on it at 145K yet there is your evidence. stable luck for my area i exploit Mobil One in ever engine I very own and that's a number of

Changing our oil regularly is the bet thing u can do for your car. The longer u drive, the dirtier and thicker your oil gets. It gums up in your engine and can cause long term damage.

Probably not. You might be doing damage that is going to cost your parents money, when it might be something simple now, if it's not too late. At least stop and get it checked. Good luck.

Yes, it will be alright. But it would be nice to let them know the light has come on since it's

their car .

Sending you to college just wasn't good enough I guess..... hmmmm

Good Luck

Another senseless Chick destroys a perfectly good car here, Tee Hee. Hand over your keys!

you can go as many miles as you like until the motor seizes up and then you just replace the engine.

good luck

it will be fine ! that light is just to remind you it,s time for a oil change.

well dealers say 3,000, but really 6,000
