Why Do You Need an Oil Change?

posted on 6/5/2019 3:48:51 PM
You’re driving down the road and glance up at the service sticker on your windshield from your last oil change. You notice the sticker says, “service at 46,345 miles”. After a quick glance down at your odometer, you realize 46,345 miles came about 1,500 miles ago! You need to find an oil change near you, and quick. At this point you’re probably wondering what’s so important about sticking to your recommended oil change schedule. Well, let’s find out!
Oil Change Near You

Oil Protects Your Car's Engine

As time passes, dirt can enter your engine and cause corrosion, decreasing the overall life of your engine. Regular oil and filter changes will aid in removing these particles of dirt and allow your engine to perform properly. Engines also have many parts that all move at high speeds under your hood. Without proper lubrication provided by the engine’s oil, these moving parts will create heat and begin to wear down. Oil provides a nice lubrication for your engine parts and helps cool all of your engine’s components.
 

Oil Changes Save You Money Down the Road

In addition to protecting your engine, one of the most vital components of your entire vehicle, did you know routine oil changes will also save you money? That’s right! We know that opening up your wallet to pay for automotive maintenance items isn’t the most exciting thing, but it is easily justifiable when you consider all of the ways preventative maintenance can save you loads of money down the road. When your engine isn’t lubricated properly, your vehicle will use for gas to ensure the engine has enough clean oil. More gas usage equals more frequent trips to the fuel pump… meaning more money you have to spend! Another simple fact is that routine oil changes extend the life of your vehicle. Obviously, the longer your current vehicle lasts the longer you can go without buying a new one!
 

How Often Should I Change My Oil?

You know that the service sticker you receive after your oil change has a “next recommended service” mileage on it, but can you extend that another couple thousand miles? Your vehicle’s recommended oil change schedule depends on your specific vehicle, the oil used, and your driving habits. When you allow a trained technician to perform your oil change service, you can rest assured that they have taken these factors into consideration when providing you with your recommended oil change schedule.
