How often should you check your vehicle’s oil level?

Checking your vehicle's oil level at least once a month is important to ensure the engine runs smoothly and efficiently. Regular checks help you monitor oil consumption and detect potential leaks early. Keeping track of the oil level can prevent engine damage due to low oil, which can lead to increased wear and tear as well as overheating.

While other options suggest less frequent checking, such as only during emergencies or once a year, these intervals may not be sufficient to maintain optimal vehicle performance. Checking weekly could be excessive for most drivers, as modern engines generally don’t require such frequent monitoring if they are well-maintained.
