Intervalle

Moderne Autos mit Longlife-Öl: 15.000-30.000 km oder 1-2 Jahre. Ältere mit Mineralöl: 7.500-15.000 km. Das Bordcomputer-Intervall ist maßgeblich — nicht die alte 10.000-km-Regel. In Deutschland: Freie Werkstätten sind 30-50% günstiger als Vertragswerkstätten bei gleichem Öl.

Kosten

Vertragswerkstatt: 150-300 €. Freie Werkstatt: 80-150 €. DIY: 40-80 € (Öl + Filter). In Deutschland verbreitet: ATU, Pitstop oder freie Werkstatt für Routineservice.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

Quick-lube chains (Jiffy Lube, Valvoline) recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles because it doubles their revenue per customer. Your car manufacturer recommends 7,500-10,000 miles for synthetic. Follow the manufacturer, not the shop that profits from more frequent service.
