Oil change frequency can depend on a number of factors, from the age and health of your vehicle, to the kind of terrain you drive on, to your unique driving habits. The rule of thumb was that Biloxi drivers should get their oil changed every 3,000 miles, but advances in automotive technology mean that for vehicles that were built after the 2000s, you can squeeze by with anything from 7,000 to 10,000 miles before an oil change at the Mandal Buick GMC service garage.
