How Often Should You Change Your Oil

Oil changes are vital to the longevity of your vehicle if you own one with an internal combustion engine. Motor oil lubricates the pistons as they move up and down, giving them the force needed to send power to the transmission that turns the wheels.

Over the last decade, improvements in oil and engine technology have helped Stamford drivers to go much longer between oil changes. Most modern Maserati models today have an oil change frequency between 10,000 and 15,000 miles using high-quality synthetic motor oil. You should always check your owner’s manual for specifics about your make and model for best results and how often you should change your car’s oil. 

Read our guide on oil change frequency to see how you can best take care of this routine vehicle maintenance.

• Check your owner’s manual to see if you should use synthetic or conventional oil on your car. Synthetic oil costs more but lasts longer. Most Maserati vehicles require synthetic motor oil. Modern vehicles also have an oil pressure monitor system (OPMS) that will tell you when you should change your oil.
• Oil eventually wears out, even when the car isn’t driven on a consistent basis. If you don’t drive often, you should still change your oil at least once during the interval period.
• Make sure you change your oil filter whenever you change your oil. Our parts center can assist you in getting the right oil filter for your Maserati if you do it yourself.
