True or False: Getting an oil change is considered an annual maintenance need for a vehicle.

The assertion that getting an oil change is considered an annual maintenance need for a vehicle is false. Oil changes are typically recommended based on the vehicle's usage, such as the number of miles driven or the time elapsed since the last change, rather than adhering to a strict annual schedule. Many modern vehicles are designed to go longer between oil changes, often ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 miles or more, depending on the type of oil used and the manufacturer's recommendations. Therefore, while some drivers may choose to have oil changes done annually based on their driving habits, it's not a universal requirement for all vehicles. This practice takes into account vehicle maintenance schedules specified by manufacturers, which often prioritize mileage over time for oil changes.
