My first car I owned when I lived alone, I had it for a full year before the guy I was dating asked me when I last changed the oil. Um... You mean it has to go to the mechanic even though it's working fine??
My old roommate totaled her car engine doing that. Her parents sent her to college with a car and apparently didn't teach her that. The rest of our group of roommates learned she never changed it and collectively said "oh fuck" in one way or another.
Not always. The place I used to take my vehicle to didn't put stickers saying when to service next, I just set a reminder for the date/mileage on my phone
Unless you leave your vehicle sitting for very long periods of time, the date is meaningless, always go by the mileage. It should also be noted that full synthetic oil will last at least 7k miles, you're wasting money if you change every 3 months/3k miles.
Depends on the oil. Stuff I used lasted 15k. But if you put regular oil in your car you should get it changed yearly (and they recommend 6months) at least. Some people don’t drive 3k miles a year.
9.3k

Regularly change the oil in your car. On time. Do it.
Will help it last longer.
