The Importance of Keeping Up with Oil Change Services
Keeping up with oil change services is a crucial aspect of maintaining your engine. Motor oil regulates the heat and friction in your engine by lubricating internal engine components. Even without knowing all the details of an engine, it's not hard to imagine how heat and friction can build quickly in an internal combustion engine.
However, motor oil breaks down and becomes dirty through normal use, making it less effective at controlling temperature and friction. Particles can get past the oil filter to create dirty or old oil. Controlled detonations within your engine can heat metal components up to 315 degrees Celsius, which quickly wears or damages components if left unattended.Â
By staying up to date with routine oil changes, you can keep your engine in exceptional condition. Maintaining your engine will increase its longevity and help you receive a higher resale price for your vehicle. Regular oil changes show potential buyers you've cared for your vehicle and the engine is healthy.
When to Get an Oil Change Service
Most vehicles need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. You can find the right oil change interval for your vehicle by checking your owner's manual, which will show you factory-recommended intervals for oil changes. Our certified technicians can also help you determine the best oil-change interval based on your driving habits and vehicle.Â
As you check your vehicle's recommended oil-change intervals, you may find different intervals based on whether your driving is considered normal or severe. Vehicles can qualify for severe driving easier than you may think. Towing, driving in heavy traffic, and experiencing temperature extremes can all affect when you need your next oil change. If you are unsure if your driving is considered severe, check with our service experts.
How to Know When You Need an Oil Change
Tracking the time and miles since your last oil change is the most effective way to determine when you need an oil change. However, you can watch for other signs that can indicate you need an oil change. Most modern vehicles have dashboard indicators that alert you when your vehicle needs oil service.
Visual inspections can also help you catch oil-related issues, such as oil dripping under your car. You can determine the quality of your motor oil by removing the dipstick and inspecting the oil. Follow the instructions in your owner's manual to avoid removing the dipstick when the engine is still hot. Using a clean rag, you can determine the quality of the motor oil. If the oil is translucent and golden brown, you have clean oil. If the oil is dark brown, gloppy, or milky, it's time for an oil change.
