If gasoline is the food of an internal combustion engine, motor oil is the lifeblood. Without fully functioning, fresh, clean motor oil, your car’s engine will rapidly undergo significant wear and tear and might even break down. The ideal frequency for changing oil varies somewhat from driver to driver. You can ask a trusted technician at your local Chevy dealership to arrange a suitable oil change schedule for you and your car.

With modern synthetic motor oil, most drivers should have it refreshed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Unless you drive a lot more or less frequently than average, this usually works out to twice a year. This means you can conveniently have your tires rotated and brakes inspected at the same time.

Take care of all your tire needs at Southworth ranging from ordering new tires, tire rotations, tire alignment, or even tire patches.

Your tires wear down a little every time you drive, and eventually, the tread will be so worn down that the tires need to be replaced. Tires can also get weaker with age, and they can develop wear and tear on the sidewalls. You’ll have to visit Southworth Chevrolet GMC for new tires at some point during your car’s lifespan, so let’s learn the signs that you need to replace your tires ASAP.

How Long Should Tires Last?

Most people will find that their tires last around 3 to 5 years, but if you switch to winter tires during the cold months or drive infrequently, then yours may last longer. However, it’s recommended that you get your tires replaced after about six years anyway, as tires weaken and develop wear and tear as they age. Ten years is the absolute longest your tires should be on your car, but it’s best to replace them long before they get that old.
