Most manufacturers advise changing conventional oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, or every 3 to 6 months, depending on your driving habits. Regular oil changes help maintain engine performance and extend the life of your vehicle, so sticking to this schedule is important for keeping everything running smoothly.

If your vehicle uses synthetic oil, you typically have more time between changes compared to conventional oil. It's generally recommended to change synthetic oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or every 6 to 12 months. Synthetic oil offers better engine protection, especially in extreme temperatures or demanding driving conditions, so it allows for longer intervals between changes.

Tire tread depth plays a critical role in your vehicle's grip and overall safety, especially in wet or slippery conditions. Tread depth is measured in 32nds of an inch, and once it wears down to 2/32 of an inch, it’s time to replace your tires. A simple way to check is with the penny test: place a penny in the tread grooves with Lincoln's head facing down — if you can see the top of his head, your tread is too worn and the tires need replacing.
