The Check Oil light on your dashboard isn’t the only indicator that your car may need an oil replacement. Here are 5 other signs to look for:1. Excessive Mileage: While guidelines for when to change a car’s oil will vary, every three months or 3,000 miles is the average recommendation.
2. Dark or Dirty Oil: Over time, oil will become darker and filled with particles. Be sure to check the colour and consistency with a dipstick every month.
3. Odour Inside Car: If a pungent oil smell permeates into your cabin, this can be a sign of a leak.
4. Exhaust Smoke: Translucent vapour coming out of your tailpipes is normal. Smoke, however, may indicate an oil leak (or other engine problems).
5. Engine Noise: Lack of lubrication can cause metal parts to brush or bump against one another creating loud sounds (and serious damage).
