Why are oil changes so important?

Some people question the necessity of oil changes. They think that as long as they keep the oil up to the fill line, like their washer fluid, then they will be fine and won’t have to take their vehicle in for a full change. What they don’t understand is that the oil in the vehicle exists in an environment that subject it to extreme heat which causes the oil to break down, thickening and turning into chemicals that could harm their vehicle. This causes the vehicle to become less efficient, raises the pollution level due to gases formed during breakdown, and lowers the life of the engine, which is extremely expensive to replace.

What are the benefits of an oil change?

Engine Efficiency

Fresh oil and new filters keep your engine clean, allow more dirt and debris to be carried to the filter, and allow the engine to run at the correct temperature. Changing your oil regularly allow can increase the mileage of your vehicle because it doesn’t have to work so hard to use its fuel more efficiently.

Engine Protection

Fresh oil and oil filters allow for smoother running of the engine components by lowering the amount of friction within the engine. Through this lubrication, all the moving parts of the engine stay cool and preserve their integrity. In the long run, by keeping up with your oil maintenance you lower your stress when it comes to emission testing as there are less harmful gases released into the atmosphere.

How often should I change my oil?

Many newer-model vehicles come equipped with an Oil-Life Monitor® that determines when you should change the oil based on how the vehicle is used. This means you do not have to remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by displaying a message in the information display.

Paying close attention to your vehicle’s owner’s manual and its recommended scheduled maintenance intervals will help ensure that oil changes are done before any engine damage can occur.
