Why Should I Get an Oil Change?


Despite its importance to your vehicle’s overall wellbeing, people oftentimes either put off, forget, or completely forego the Regular Maintenance that their Car needs to ensure it’s continually running smoothly.

I understand that it can be easy to shrug off the Change Oil or Service Now Light in your vehicle, but the harsh reality is that you shouldn’t. It may cost money, it may be inconvenient, but the fact of the matter is that if you don’t bring your car in for Oil Changes once every 3,000 miles, you could end up with no car at all.

You see, your Vehicle needs Oil to function properly. Without Engine Oil, the parts that involve rapidly moving parts that are metal on metal, like the Pistons in the Cylinder Heads, will wear out exponentially faster. The reason for that is Heat, created by the Friction of those parts rubbing together without the proper Lubrication. 

This can cause your Engine to Overheat, which can lead to irreparable damage. 

Making sure to schedule regular Oil Changes for your vehicle will ensure that all of those moving parts have the necessary Lubrication to keep your engine running for a long time because the Oil will reduce the friction, preventing your Engine from Overheating.

Getting your Oil Changed can also remove the dirt and grime that begins to build up when the Oil from your last Oil Change begins to break down. If you go too long between Oil Changes, those dirt and wear particles become more prevalent, giving the Oil a sludge-like consistency. When that happens, the oil loses its viscosity, creating more friction within your engine.

Regular Oil Changes can also help improve gas mileage. Old, Dirty Engine Oil will make your Vehicle work harder to run, which will inevitably increase your Gas Consumption. By keeping up with your Oil Changes, you could very well be cutting down on your vehicle’s Gas Consumption!

Even with all of this, many still won’t stick to a regular schedule of Oil Changes. We understand, it can be a hassle trying to schedule your day around something as simple as an Oil Change.
