How often should I change my Vauxhall Grandland's oil?

I just bought a Vauxhall Grandland and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining it. How frequently should I get an oil change and what are the signs that I may need one?

As a general rule, you should have your oil changed every 5,000-7,000 miles or every 6-12 months, whichever comes first. However, it is always best to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your vehicle. Signs that your oil may need to be changed include dark or dirty oil, low oil level, and a knocking or ticking sound coming from the engine.

I have found that for my Vauxhall Grandland, it is safest to stick to the 5,000 mile mark for oil changes. It may seem like a hassle, but it will help your engine run smoother and last longer. Also, make sure to use the recommended oil viscosity for your vehicle.

You should pay attention to your driving habits and the conditions you drive in when determining how frequently to change your oil. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or extreme weather conditions, you should consider changing your oil more frequently. Always remember that regular oil changes are a crucial part of maintaining your vehicle's engine.
