When to do the first oil change on new car?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
I bought a new 2014 car and need to know at how many miles should I do the first oil change at?

there should be a maintenance schedule in the glove compartment. That is what you go by.

about 7000 km?

I personally would do the first one myself, as soon

As i could.

read your owners manual

around 10,000 miles

Depending brand of car have different oil change schedules.

Find the maintenance schedule that came with the car (may be separate from the owner's manual) and look in the owner's anual for break-in instructions. Changing the break-in oil too early or too late will increase oil consumption and decrease engine life. The first oil change schedule varies widely, from 1500 km (maybe less) to at least 10,000 km. One size does not fit all.

pretty sure every 5000 kilometres

Generally, 7,500 miles. Your owner's manual has a page showing the recommended maintenance intervals.
