Do Certified Used Cars Really Need an Oil Change Every 3,000 Miles?
There was a time when cars needed an oil change every 3,000 miles or every three months, whichever came first. However, your certified used cars may not need this and you could be paying unnecessarily for oil changes that you don’t need.
Goodwrench is working on debunking some myths and this is the one they want to start with. One reason for debunking this myth is because it’s good for the environment to skip unnecessary oil changes. According to the director of the California EPA, only one gallon of oil can pollute one million gallons of water.
In addition to that, the American Petroleum Institute says that at least one billion gallons of motor oil are sold in the United States alone. About 185 million of those gallons are disposed of improperly every year.
As a result, you should follow the owner’s manual for your certified used cars and your Mercedes vehicles. Only get oil changes according to the manufacturer’s guidelines if you want to save money and help the environment. Besides, you know when a service garage is telling you to cut back on some maintenance procedures for your certified used cars, it’s something that is very important.
