Professional Hyundai Oil Change Service
The Ourisman Hyundai Guide to Oil Changes for Laurel, MD Drivers
Oil changes should be the most common auto service you have with your vehicle, so their importance is clear. Our Hyundai service center helps many drivers with their oil changes. There are many benefits to regular oil changes, but we know there are many questions for this common auto service. This page highlights simple oil change tips and why our service center is the place to come for a Hyundai oil change in the Baltimore area.
How Often Should You Change Your Oil?
There are many variables to consider when thinking about your oil change frequency. Every vehicle should get an oil change around every 7,500 miles at least, with some models requiring fresh engine oil every 3,000 miles. How frequently you replace the oil in your vehicle depends on items such as the age of your model, engine type, and how you drive.
Drivers in the Glen Burnie area often deal with commutes that can tax their engine oil as idling, low speeds, and a lot of braking. That type of driving and hot city environments should have you changing out your engine oil more frequently. Other items that can have you going through more oil include corrosive and dusty conditions, rough roads, and inclines.
Like to the store or school and back
Winds often move dust more than we realize
Driving in areas where salt of other corrosive materials are being used
Been in rush-hour traffic lately?
Driving on rough or muddy roads
Driving in mountainous areas
Extended periods of idling or low speed operation. Again, rush hour?
More than 50% driving in heavy city traffic in above 90 degree weather
Check you owner's manual to see what grade and viscosity of oil and change frequency your vehicle needs and occasionally confirm that the oil is at its optimal level.
Based on all your combined driving habits, you may need to change the oil more frequently (every 4,500-5,000 miles may be more appropriate than the normal 6,000-7,500 miles).Â
What Are the Types of Engine Oil?
You'll have engine oil options when scheduling a change. The main two are synthetic and conventional, with the latter being more affordable. There is no wrong type of engine oil to put in your vehicle, but there are Hyundai models where we suggest using synthetic. Synthetic oil lasts longer, so if you prefer more time between oil changes, it's the right one for you.
Benefits of Oil Changes
There are many components in your engine that have to work in tight quarters, and engine oil helps to lubricate those parts. Regular Hyundai oil changes near Silver Spring, MD help to protect your engine, and they'll help prevent more serious damage from worn down components. Oil changes don't cost much and help protect your investment and a vital part of what makes it run.
Spending the money and taking the time to get oil changes when recommended by the manufacturer can save lots in the long-run.Â

Do Hybrid Vehicles Need Oil Changes?
Many drivers wonder about Hyundai hybrid oil changes, and this is still a regular service you'll have to tackle. Hybrid cars still have gas motors, so you'll need engine oil. Hybrid engines do help in low-engine speed situations, which can mean longer times between oil changes. Electric vehicles don't require oil changes, and this is a big draw for many car shoppers.
