The Oil Change – Why it’s so Important
Have you ever heard “Oil is the lifeblood of your car?” In this case, it happens to be true. A car’s engine cannot function without clean oil. The oil acts as a lubricant in your car under very hot temperatures in the engine. Without a good lubricant, engine parts will rub together and wear each other out or break. Oil also cleans and prevents corrosion, improves sealing, and cools the engine by carrying heat away from moving parts that cannot function without oil.
When to Change Your Oil?
With oil playing such a critical role in the health of your car, how do you know when to change it? It’s hard to be definite with the answer because there are so many variables including – how you drive, the conditions and age of the engine, the environment you drive in and whether you drive on highways more often than city traffic.
Generally speaking, we recommend an oil change every 5000 miles to make your engine last as long as possible. There are other circumstances to consider when picking the timing for your oil changes:
- Do you drive at high speeds often?
- Do you regularly carry a heavy load?
- Do you drive on back roads often where your oil can get dirty faster?
- Is your car or engine old, and does it have a tendency to burn oil?
- Do you drive in extreme weather conditions – very hot or very cold temperatures?
