Castrol Professional notes that the fuel-specific gap in average mileage widens once more as cars get slightly older. In the 5-6 year bracket, diesel-powered cars travel an average 11,132 miles between two oil changes â 19.4% further than their petrol counterparts, travelling 9,322 miles.
Many newer vehicles now come equipped with an sensor or monitor where a light on comes on indicating you should change the oil. If you are lucky enough to have one of these you will soon realize how much of a waste it would be to change your oil every 3,000 miles. Our vehicles both have these and they are fairly new (2003 and 2005) . In the manual they recommend about a 5,000 oil change schedule, which is a good start. But, what is even more interesting is that the change oil light typically comes on well past the 5,000 mile mark. The light on my car came on at just shy of 8,000 miles, and I do very little highway driving.
