What is the Importance of an Oil & Filter Change
The Benefits of Regular Oil Changes
- Improved Fuel Economy
One of the primary benefits of regular oil changes is that they can help to improve fuel economy. When motor oil becomes dirty, it can cause engine parts to work harder, which can lead to increased fuel consumption. By changing your oil regularly, you can help to ensure that your engine is running as efficiently as possible.
- Extended Engine Life
Another benefit of regular oil changes is that they can help to extend the life of your engine. Dirty oil can cause a build-up of deposits on engine parts, which can lead to wear and tear. By changing your oil regularly, you can help to prevent these deposits from forming and extend the life of your engine.
- Reduced Emissions
Regular oil changes can also help to reduce emissions from your vehicle. When motor oil becomes dirty, it can cause your engine to run less efficiently, which can lead to increased emissions. By changing your oil regularly, you can help to keep your engine running smoothly and reduce the amount of emissions released into the environment.
- Improved Performance
In addition to improved fuel economy and reduced emissions, regular oil changes can also lead to improved performance from your vehicle. Dirty oil can cause engine parts to work harder, which can lead to decreased power and performance. By changing your oil regularly, you can help to ensure that your engine is running at its best.
