What is the Importance of an Oil & Filter Change
Many people are guilty of putting off oil changes because they don’t
seem like a big deal, but clean oil and oil filters are essential in maintaining
a healthy engine. Oil lubricates the multitude of moving parts within
your engine, allowing it to run smoothly. Over time, oil breaks down and
becomes gummy or watery, and doesn’t work as well. If left unchanged,
old oil can cause expensive and inconvenient engine problems.
At Christian Brothers Automotive, we know oil and filter changes like the
back of our hand. We will refill your oil levels and replace your oil
filter. At that time, we will also offer a complimentary courtesy inspection
to review the health and safety of your vehicle, where our experienced
auto technicians visually inspect the major and minor systems within your vehicle.
Oil helps lubricate and cool the various parts of your engine, while reducing friction, diminishing wear, and forming a seal between the pistons, rings, and cylinder walls. Without the cleaning power of new oil & filters, carbon and particle buildup become toxic to the engine. This is why we recommend that you follow the interval as suggested in your owner's manual. Getting regular oil and filter changes is a small price to pay to avoid expensive engine repair or breakdown.
Benefits of oil changes include:
- Improves gas mileage: your engine’s moving parts create friction and slow your vehicle down. Replacing dirty oil with cleaner oil reduces friction, meaning there is less resistance while driving, allowing you to get a few extra miles per gallon.
- Reduces emissions: all automobiles produce pollution. You can reduce the harm you do to the environment by getting your oil changed regularly, as clean oil doesn’t burn.
- Prevents sludge buildup: as oil runs through your engine, it accumulates debris and dirt particles. While your filters are designed to prevent sludge from entering your engine, some particles will slip through. Clean oil and oil filters keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.
- Improved performance: a well-lubricated engine allows you to experience a smooth ride while driving. Oil changes reduce friction in your engine, so clean oil provides the smoothest ride possible.
- Preserves engine life: you can add years to your vehicle’s life with regular oil and filter changes. Maintaining a well-lubricated, cleanly filtered engine will ensure you get the most out of your vehicle–from gas mileage and performance to longevity of life.
