Q: How often should I change my oil ?

A: Most cars ever 3 months or 3000 miles, whichever comes first. But there are some exceptions. If you drive less than 3000 in a year twice a year is fine, and if you drive more than 20,000 mile in a year every 5000 miles is fine. Also if you use synthetic oil 6 months or 6000 miles becomes the rule. Manufactures intervals may be longer but remember, thru our experience we recommend these intervals to keep you car running as long as you own it.

Q: What kind of oil should I use in my car?

A: There is no one best oil. In many case the correct oil grade is written on your oil cap. Or a tag under the hood, But if not at SUNNY SUNOCO we use an online service and look up the correct oil for your car. According to your cars manufacture.
