Change Your Oil Every 3,000 Miles
No. AAA notes that, for low-mileage drivers, most automakers recommend an oil change every 12 months. Modern lubricants can extend the time between oil changes to up to 7,500 miles; vehicles using full synthetic motor oils might wait up to 15,000. Even Jiffy Lube has backed off the 3,000-mile claim.
Put Nitrogen in Your Tires
Nitrogen is supposed to help tires stay properly inflated through dramatic changes in weather. Consumer Reports says that’s not a factor with most modern tires, and it’s easy to reinflate tires yourself, saving about $5 per tire by using regular air instead of nitrogen.
