The old '3,000 miles' rule is dead. Here's what modern engines actually need — and how Ghana's driving conditions change the math.
Modern synthetic oils are engineered to last far longer than the mineral oils of the 90s. Most manufacturers now recommend 8,000 – 15,000 km between changes.
But Ghana's driving conditions — heat, dust, stop-and-go Accra traffic — count as 'severe service.' We recommend halving the manufacturer interval if you drive mostly in the city.
Always check the dipstick monthly, use the oil grade your owner's manual specifies, and change the filter every service. Our workshop uses genuine filters and premium synthetic oil on every job.
