Every engine needs to be cared for to keep it running up to snuff, and that means regular oil changes. Your engine's oil serves as a lubricant to keep all its parts running as intended.

It's important for you to make sure you're changing your oil regularly to avoid the need for engine repairs in the future. For most vehicles, you'll want to change your oil between every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. If you want to know when you should change your oil, manually pulling out your dipstick will let you know if your oil is low or old. Consumer Reports recommends doing this check at least once a month.*

Beyond that, though, there are signs you can look out for to know if your oil is due for a replacement. One of the simplest ways is to pay attention to your oil pressure light. If this comes on, you need to change your oil as soon as possible. Some other symptoms of low oil include:

• Dark exhaust
• Knocking in the engine
• Oily smell in the cabin
