Nobody wants to deal with the unexpected expenses or any of the other problems that come up from car troubles. That is why taking proper care of your vehicle is important to save yourself time, money, and trouble. Ron Ananian, host of ‘The Car Doctor’ on the iHeartRadio app, talked with Mendte in the Morning about maybe the most important piece of car maintenance, when to get your oil changed.
“I don’t think there is a time where you can’t or shouldn’t change oil; I still like the 5,000-6,000 [mile], 5–6 month interval,” Ananian told host Larry Mendte. “It provides vehicle longevity, and it also gives a qualified trained mechanic the opportunity to look around and make sure everything is ok.”
Ananian believes that consulting with an expert is always the best course of action: “Sometimes you can stretch it and here’s that conversation with your mechanic: ‘What does the oil look like, how does the car feel, what’s the general overall quality of the vehicle;’ oil changes do a whole lot more than just change oil if they’re done properly.”
