Oil Change FAQs
How often should I change my oil?
Most vehicles need an oil change every 5,000–7,500 miles, but Arizona heat, stop-and-go driving, and short trips can shorten that interval. We’ll help you choose the right schedule for your vehicle and driving habits.
What’s the difference between synthetic and conventional oil?
Synthetic oil offers better protection, especially in extreme Arizona temperatures. It resists breakdown, keeps your engine cleaner, and helps extend engine life — which is why many modern vehicles require it.
Can I switch to synthetic oil if I’ve always used conventional?
Yes! Most vehicles can switch to synthetic oil without any issues. In fact, many drivers notice smoother performance and better protection after switching.
What happens if I wait too long for an oil change?
Old oil thickens and loses its ability to protect your engine. Waiting too long can lead to:
- Increased engine wear
- Reduced fuel economy
- Overheating
- Costly long-term repairs
Do you check other components during an oil change?
Absolutely. Every CarLife oil service includes a basic inspection of fluids, filters, lights, belts, and other key items to keep your vehicle safe and reliable.
