In 2018, the Chevy Volt recommends using SAE 5w30 synthetic motor oil. It's best to change your oil every 7,500 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. Keeping up with regular oil changes can extend your engine's lifespan, improve gas mileage, and enhance performance. By routinely changing the oil and filter, you can prevent the buildup of particles and sludge in the engine. Neglecting oil changes can lead to a variety of engine issues. As the oil ages, it becomes thinner and abrasive, causing wear on essential engine components. Synthetic oil is particularly beneficial for performance, as it reduces friction levels and offers better engine protection.

    Follow the recommendations provided on the engine's cap when deciding when to change your oil. Don't change the oil in your car just because you've hit 7500 miles. Let's be realistic - you can drive 7500 miles without the engine even running other than for maintenance purposes.
