What are the Benefits of an Oil Change?

Get the most out of your vehicle's performance with regular oil changes!
- Improved Fuel Efficiency: Reduce the amount of times you have to fill up your tank by improving lubrication through regular oil changes.
- Extend the Life of Your Vehicle: Regular oil changes can be an easy way to ensure your vehicle’s engine and interior components stay clean, extending its overall life span. Keep your vehicle running optimally and reliably with consistent maintenance.
Signs It's Time for an Oil Change
Keeping up with regular oil changes is crucial for maintaining the health and performance of your vehicle's engine.
Here are some key indicators that it's time for an oil change:
- Check Engine Light: A lit check engine light on your dashboard could mean your engine oil needs attention. Ensuring your oil is at the correct level and quality is worth checking.
- Oil Change Light: Many modern vehicles have an oil change light that illuminates when it's time for a new oil change. Pay attention to this light to prevent engine damage.
- Engine Noise: If you notice increased engine noise or knocking sounds, it could indicate that your oil is dirty or low. Fresh oil helps lubricate the engine and reduce noise.
- Excessive Exhaust Smoke: Blue or dark exhaust smoke can indicate that your engine oil is burning or has deteriorated, signaling the need for a change.
- Oil Appearance: Use the dipstick to check the color and consistency of your oil. If it appears dark, gritty, or milky, it's time for a change.
- Mileage: Most vehicles require an oil change every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on the type of oil used and driving conditions. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended interval.
- Rough Engine Performance: Difficulty starting your engine or sluggish performance can indicate that old or contaminated oil is affecting engine function.
