It is very important to always change engine oil whenever you cover a distance of 1000km. This is because the old one is almost useless as it does not reduce friction on the rotating part of the engine especially the crank shaft of the piston. Wherever you are traveling to in, always make sure you check your engine oil capacity to avoid unneeded breakdowns or other mechanical faults along the road trip. A car rental company will always give you well oiled car but you have to take upon yourself to you return the car in good condition by re-oiling every 1000km.
