With all the moving parts of a vehicle, auto maintenance is crucial in keeping everything running smoothly. One of the most important routine services is an oil change. Regular oil changes can drastically increase the lifespan of your engine and ensure it's operating at its fullest potential.

What Is Engine Oil For?
The parts under your hood are constantly moving, which can cause excess friction and heat if not properly taken care of. Engine oil helps lubricate these parts and keep them moving smoothly.
Dust, dirt, and debris are also continuously collecting under your hood. Your engine oil helps break down this debris to ensure your engine unit remains clean.
The third job of oil is to keep the entire engine cool. Heat is naturally generated in the unit, and it helps maintain a moderate temperature to prevent overheating.
Why Do You Need Oil Changes?
The more your engine oil is used, the more it breaks down. It will become compromised over time and lose its ability to protect your engine. Even if you weren’t driving your vehicle as much this past year, your engine oil still continues to lose its quality over time. It degrades and loses viscosity just by sitting in the engine.
The mileage interval for oil changes depends on your vehicle and driving habits, but most fall into the 5,000 to 7,500 range. However, if it's been more than six months since your last oil change, we encourage you to schedule an appointment. We'll exchange the current oil for a fresh supply and check your oil filter and change if necessary.
