How often should I change my antifreeze?
In most cases, you should change your antifreeze every 2 years.
I drive less than 2,000 miles a year. Why should I change my oil more often than once a year?
If you only drive a couple of miles a day, chances are your car isn't reaching optimum operating temperature. That means that condensation is forming inside the engine. That adds moisture to your oil reducing its ability to maximize lubrication.
