The Importance of Routine Oil Changes

Internal combustion engines work at extremely high temperatures and use scores of moving metal parts to achieve power and performance. As a result, engines need lubricant to prevent excess friction and heat. That's where engine oil comes into play. Engine oil is used to lubricate the myriad moving parts in an engine and prevent damage due to friction. Plus, modern engine oil has also been developed to help clean sludge.

Engine oil does lose its effectiveness, however. With time and use, oil gets dirty and loses its viscosity. When that happens, it's important to drain out old oil and replace it with fresh oil. Doing so regularly helps improve engine performance and durability.

Most cars need oil changes every few thousand miles or every six months. This can vary depending on make and model, however. We recommend consulting your owner's manual or your trusted technician to advise on oil change intervals for your vehicle.
