Why is an oil change important? The daily grind.

Every time you start your car and get it up to speed, parts of your engine, including the pistons, create friction in the motor. Motor oil provides vital lubrication that prevents the moving parts from creating undue friction against each other. Less friction means better performance and less wear and tear on the metal.

Besides lubricating and protecting your engine, the right motor oil serves other important functions including:

• Cleaning – As the oil flows throughout the engine, it collects dirt and debris. Eventually, the gunk accumulates and gets collected in the oil filter.
• Cooling – The friction in your engine’s moving parts creates heat. But the antifreeze you may think cools your whole engine only protects the upper part of it. Lower areas like the crankshaft, timing gears, pistons, rod bearings, and camshaft need motor oil to prevent overheating.
• Engine Restoration – Certain motor oils like synthetic and high-mileage oils are designed to restore engine function and performance.

How often do you need an oil change? It depends.

For many years in driving history, the rule of thumb was to change motor oil every 3,000 miles. Thanks to advances in motor oil formulas with synthetics or synthetic blends, some vehicles today can travel at least twice that distance or more between oil changes. But there are certain factors that need to be considered.

• Vehicle Age – Generally speaking, 2008 and newer vehicles can get their motor oil changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first. For those 2007 and older, oil changes need to happen every 5,000 miles or six months.
• Driving Routine – If your usual driving conditions include off-road driving, towing or carrying heavy loads, excessive idling or short trips at non-highway speeds, regular oil changes need to happen every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.

When you’re deciding how often to get your oil change, it’s smart to consider another factor. When you bring your vehicle in, our expert mechanics are also checking out other maintenance issues. This can head off any unexpected problems – and expensive repairs – down the road.
