I'm not sure I understood your question, but it sounds like you want to know when to change the oil. If you have regular oil in it, it should be changed every 3000 miles. If the oil is synthetic, I change every 5000 miles, but the manufacturers say every 8000. Be sure to change the oil filter as well.
