Knowing how often to get your oil changed may seem basic for used car owners, but itcan often be much more complicated than people realize. In years past, there was a general rule of thumb that you should get it changed every three months or 3,000 miles, but with better motor oil and more complicated cars, those things can change. Regardless of how often you go, New Jersey Auto Auction offers its customers with affordable, reliable service.

Though it can change from car to car, the hosts of NPR's Car Talk recently spoke with MSNBC about what's a good interval, and they say that there is a good way to maintain the health of your used car.

"It may be too soon for many people and too late for a few," they told the website. "But for the vast majority, 5,000-mile oil changes will help your engine last to a ripe, old age."

Getting your used car to reach that old age is something that more and more drivers are hoping to achieve. In fact, according to Rebecca Lindland, the director of strategic review at IHS Automotive, the average age of cars on the road is an impressive 10.6 years, which is indicative of the growing desire of drivers to get the most out of their vehicles, driving an average of 13,400 miles each year.
