The Benefits of Regular Oil Changes
Scheduling regular oil and filter changes offers immediate benefits for your vehicle's performance and longevity. By replacing dirty fluid with fresh lubricant, you reduce engine friction and prevent harmful sludge buildup. This simple maintenance step saves money on fuel and helps avoid costly repairs down the road.
Regular oil and filter changes provide these specific advantages:
- Improved Mileage: Fresh oil minimizes friction between parts, allowing your vehicle to use fuel more efficiently.
- Reduced Emissions: Clean fluid burns efficiently, helping lower your car’s environmental impact by reducing harmful exhaust.
- Prevents Sludge: New oil prevents debris and dirt buildup that affects engine performance and long-term reliability.
- Smoother Performance: A well-lubricated engine runs quietly and provides a much smoother overall driving experience.
- Extended Life: Regular maintenance prevents excessive wear, significantly boosting your engine's lifespan and avoiding costly repairs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I change my oil?
It depends on your vehicle and oil type. While the old standard was 3,000 miles, modern engines using full-synthetic oil can often go 5,000 to 7,500 miles. We check your manufacturer's guide to give you the correct interval for Burleson driving conditions.
Is synthetic oil better than conventional?
Yes, full-synthetic oil offers better protection against extreme heat and cold, resists sludge buildup, and lasts longer. It is highly recommended for newer vehicles and those that tow or drive in stop-and-go traffic to ensure extended engine life.
Do I really need to change the filter every time?
Absolutely. The oil filter traps dirt and metal shavings. If you leave the old filter on, the fresh clean oil will quickly become contaminated by the trapped debris, negating the benefits of the car oil change.
Will a fresh oil change improve gas mileage?
Yes. Fresh oil reduces friction between moving engine parts, allowing the engine to run more efficiently. This smoother operation requires less energy, which can lead to slightly improved gas mileage over time compared to driving with thick, dirty sludge.
What is included in the courtesy inspection?
Our courtesy inspection is a visual check of your vehicle's vital systems. We look at fluid levels (coolant, brake, power steering), check the condition of your battery, inspect wiper blades, and look for uneven tire wear to catch issues early.
