Signs it's time for oil change services

Is that tiny sticker on your windshield giving you a nudge? Avoid expensive auto repairs by getting oil change services every 5,000 to 7,500 miles and watching for blinking dashboard lights, smoking exhaust, burning smells, or a shaky ride. Your car will need one of two types of oil, as listed in your owner's manual:

1. Full-Synthetic Oil: A premium, long-lasting engine oil 
2. Synthetic Blend Oil: A trendy, economical hybrid of conventional and synthetic oil, but it requires more frequent replacements
