What is the Importance of an Oil & Filter Change

Warning Signs Your Engine is Begging for an Oil Change:

How do you know when to go beyond routine and schedule that vital oil change? Engines have ways of communicating when they need a little TLC.

Here are some telltale signs to listen for:

  • Knocking or Ticking: These noises often indicate increased friction due to dirty or worn-out oil.
  • Decreased Engine Performance: Sluggish acceleration and lower fuel efficiency can be caused by oil viscosity issues.
  • Dark and Gritty Oil: Check your dipstick – dark, dirty, or thick oil means it's time for a change.
  • Oil Change Reminder Light: Most cars have this handy sensor – don't ignore its plea for fresh lubrication!
  • Exhaust Smoke: Excessive blue or white smoke from the exhaust can point to problems with oil burning.
  • Burning Oil Smell: If you detect a burnt oil odor inside or outside the car, schedule an appointment ASAP.
  • Increased Engine Temperature: Overheating can be caused by poor lubrication, so keep an eye on your temperature gauge.
  • Low Oil Level: Regularly check your oil level – if it's significantly below the recommended mark, top up and schedule a change.
  • Rough Idling: A rough, uneven idle can be a symptom of engine issues related to dirty or old oil.
  • Unusual Vibrations: Excessive vibrations at idle or while driving can point to internal lubrication problems.

Remember, timely oil changes are crucial for your engine's health and performance. Don't wait for these warning signs to appear. Contact Christian Brothers Automotive Lockport to schedule regular oil changes based on your car's manufacturer recommendations.

FAQs

  • Q. "What happens if I wait too long for an oil change?"
    Your oil helps lubricate and absorb heat within your engine. If you wait too long to get an oil change, your engine will eventually have severe and costly issues. Luckily oil changes are relatively inexpensive and have a quick service time. Click here to learn more about the consequences of not replacing your vehicle's oil.
  • Q. "What type of oil should I get for my vehicle?"
