When your car needs an oil change, there are a number of things you need to take into consideration. While every car needs an oil change after a certain amount of miles or months, exactly how you can accomplish that oil change is dictated by the type of car you have. For example, if you have a used car that is not under warranty, you can change the oil yourself or have it changed by anyone that you want. However, if you have a new car that is under warranty, you may find that you aren't allowed to do that. Some car warranties may require you to take your car into a certified oil change center to change the old oil without voiding your warranty.
