When to Get Your Oil Changed: Key Indicators
Recognizing the signs that your vehicle needs an oil change can prevent costly repairs and maintain engine performance.
Look out for these indicators:
- Dark or Dirty Oil on the Dipstick: Fresh oil is amber in color and transparent. If the oil on your dipstick appears dark or dirty, it's a sign that it's time for an oil change.
- Louder Engine Noise or Knocking: Clean oil helps lubricate engine components, reducing noise. If you hear louder engine noise or knocking sounds, it could indicate that your oil needs changing.
- Oil Change or Check Engine Light is On: The oil change or check engine light illuminates when the engine's oil is dirty or low. If either of these lights is on, it's essential to schedule an oil change promptly.
- Exhaust Smoke Appears Darker Than Usual: Darker-than-usual exhaust smoke can indicate that the engine is burning oil, which may be due to old or contaminated oil. Changing the oil can resolve this issue.
- Oil Level is Consistently Low: If you need to top up your oil frequently, it may be a sign of a leak or that your oil is old and needs changing. Regularly checking your oil level can help determine if it's time for an oil change.
Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining the health and performance of your vehicle's engine. If you notice any of these signs, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with us at Christian Brothers Automotive Cimarron Hills.
