How Often do I need to Change My Oil?
Many people will say that you need to change your oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles, however this is generally no longer the case. New vehicles are often able to go 5,000 miles before needing an oil change. However we recommend you go by what your vehicle’s owner manual recommends for oil change frequency.
Why Do I Need to Change My Oil?
Changing your oil is one of the easiest, yet arguable the most important routine maintenance tasks. Motor oil lubricates the small mechanical parts that work together to make your engine run and also work to clean those parts over time.
What Happens if I Don’t Change My Oil?
If your oil tank is not full there won’t be enough oil to properly lubricate the parts in your engine which can cause friction, wear and damage. That damage can lead to bigger problems and costly repairs as your vehicle ages. Running old, dirty motor oil through your engine results in engine sludge which reduces the performance and longevity of your engine.
