The Importance of Routine Oil Changes

Never underestimate the importance of regular oil changes for your vehicle. Whatever driving habits and road conditions are typical for you, your vehicle needs clean engine oil to keep it running smoothly.

Motor oil has many functions, including lubricating the engine and engine components, clearing out the dirt and debris in your engine, and keeping your engine cooled to the correct temperature. Engine oil works hard, and after time, it breaks down and becomes viscous and dirty. That means it can’t perform its duties correctly.

Oil Change Benefits for Your Engine

Changing your oil at regular intervals has many benefits, including preventing more expensive repairs. Clean oil draws heat and dirt away from your engine parts, which helps them to work better and last longer. Dirt build up and improper lubrication means blockages and more wear and tear on engine parts.

Regular oil changes also boost your engine’s performance and gas mileage. If your engine is running on dirty oil, it has to work harder and at higher temperatures, thus reducing efficiency. Clean oil eliminates dirt, lowers temperatures, and lets you get the most horsepower and best fuel efficiency.

How Do I Know It’s Time for an Oil Change?
