What exactly does an oil change include?

Depending on where you’re going, coming in for routine maintenance like getting your oil changed might come with some additional services. For example, you might want to get your tires rotated or balanced, or you might just want to get a multi-point inspection. While these added services can vary, at the very least an oil change includes emptying out your current oil, replacing the filter and refilling the tank with clean oil.

How often should I get my oil changed?

As technology and processes in the manufacturing of vehicles continues to improve and advance, things like how often you should be getting your oil changed will often be adjusted as well. While it used to be recommended that you get your oil changed every three months or 3,000 miles, the recommended interval is now whichever comes first between six months or 7,500 miles, though this can vary by vehicle.

Do electric vehicles need oil changes?

More and more electric vehicles are being released onto the market, and it’s only a matter of time before Mitsubishi has its own Battery Electric Vehicle. You might be wondering if electric cars need their oil changed like traditional models, but the answer is no. True BEVs have no need for motor oil, but plug-in hybrids like the Outlander PHEV still have a traditional engine, so they need their oil changed like normal.
