How often should I change the engine oil in my Vauxhall Astra?

I've heard that changing the engine oil regularly is important, but I don't know how often I should do it for my particular car. Can you give me some advice?

In general, it's recommended to change your engine oil every 5,000 to 7,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. However, if you do a lot of stop-and-go driving or frequently tow heavy loads, it's a good idea to change it more often, about every 3,000 miles.

If you're unsure about how often to change your engine oil, it's best to consult your Vauxhall Astra's owner's manual. It will have specific recommendations for your particular model and year.

Additionally, make sure to check your oil level regularly and top off if it's low. This will help keep your engine running smoothly and prevent any potential issues.
