When is the proper time to check the oil on a car?

Generally, a car's oil should be checked/changed about every 4,000 miles.

However, if your vehicle has one of those "warning" symbols on your dashboard that lights up when the oil needs to be checked, it's best to give it a look-over.

Also be aware of any signs that signify your oil needs to be checked. If you see that it is leaking from underneath your vehicle, there could be a problem, so have it diagnosed as soon as you can.

Hope this helps!
