Oil changes are typically recommended every 3,000 to 7,000 miles. However, it's best to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the manufacturer's specific recommendations.

You are not required to use the dealer for repairs to maintain your warranty. Independent repair shops can perform the work, provided they are qualified and adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines for service and repairs.

It is advisable to inspect your vehicle's fluid levels, including engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant, during each oil change or approximately every one to two months.
