Q: Is it important to change the oil, and how often should I do this?

Yes, it is important to change your oil . Changing your oil ensures your engine is properly cooled and lubricated and doesn't overheat or experience severe wear and tear. How often you change your oil depends on the vehicle, the type of oil you use, driving conditions, temperature, how much you drive, and the age of your vehicle. You should check your oil at least once a month.
