Servicing High Mileage Vehicles at Gilmore's Auto ServicePosted May 29, 2022 12:05 PMThe price of gas and the uncertain economy are both causing CA residents to review their finances. More and more Walnut Creek drivers are opting to keep their vehicles longer and put off purchasing a newer car. It is estimated that two-thirds of the vehicles on the roads of North America today have over 75,000 miles/120,000 km on them. And the average age of vehicles is now over eleven years. That translates to some car care issues that many Walnut Creek men and women haven't dealt with in the past. For example, if it is recommended that you change your oil every 5,000 miles/8,000 km, you should continue to change your oil every 5,000 miles/8,000 km. The owner of an older vehicle has to recognize that his engine is operating under higher stress than a new one. It's just starting to show its age. So many experts suggest that the “severe service schedule” should be followed once a vehicle has racked up some serious road distance. On this schedule, the mileage interval for many services is shortened or should be performed more often. Check with your service advisor at Gilmore's Auto Service. Gilmore's Auto Service
