How often should I change oil if I drive in stop-and-go traffic?

If you drive mostly in stop-and-go traffic, you should change your oil more often because city driving counts as severe service. Constant starting, stopping, idling, and short trips prevent the engine from reaching ideal operating temperature long enough to burn off moisture and contaminants, which degrades oil faster. Add Miami's heat and heavy air conditioning use, and your oil works even harder. For most local drivers in these conditions, changing full synthetic oil closer to every 5,000 miles, rather than stretching to 7,500, is the safer bet. Your owner's manual likely lists a separate severe-service interval worth following. Motoro Cars' ASE-certified technicians help you set the right schedule for Miami's driving conditions.
