How often should you get an oil change?

• Under normal driving, many owners follow 5,000–7,500 miles for conventional oil and 7,500–10,000 miles for synthetic oil, but always follow the owner’s manual for your specific driving conditions.
• For severe conditions — frequent short trips, heavy idling, towing, dusty roads, or extreme temperatures — change intervals are shorter (often every 3,000–5,000 miles).
• Nalley Honda can review driving habits and recommend a personalized schedule to balance cost and engine protection.
• Maintaining recommended intervals with dealership service preserves warranty eligibility and creates a verifiable maintenance record that boosts resale value.
