The Importance of Oil Changes

Getting your oil changed is essential to your car's life. In fact, sticking to your oil change schedule can save you money in the long-haul by preventing breakdowns and unnecessary damage to your vehicle.

Oil is vital to your engine because it lubricates the many moving parts in your engine including the valves, pistons, belts, gears and more. As these parts move and do their jobs, they create friction and heat that can wear down the engine if it isn't properly lubricated. Additionally, the oil picks up dirt and particles that can get stuck in your engine. If this stuff builds up, it can cause problems in your engine.

Luckily, these problems are easily preventable. All you need to do is follow a regular oil change schedule based on the vehicle you have and the oil your vehicle uses. Regular oil should be changed about every six months while synthetic oil should be changed about every twelve.
