Are Regular Oil Changes Really Important?
On average, it is recommended that, for optimal engine care, your oil should be changed every 3,000 – 7,500 miles depending on our usual driving style and conditions. To put it simply, regular oil changes keep your vehicle running smoothly. They ensure proper engine lubrication, keep the engine free from sludge, and help keep it from overheating. The results include improved gas mileage, a longer vehicle lifespan, and a potentially higher resale value for your vehicle.There are a number of factors that may mean that your vehicle requires more frequent oil changes, including:
- Driving in dusty areas
- Using your vehicle for towing
- Extreme heat
- Driving for extended periods at high altitudes
- Driving styles that include rapid acceleration and deceleration
Over time, engine oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dust, dirt, and debris from both the engine and the environment. As this happens, buildup from dirty oil robs a vehicle of fuel economy and power. This also makes the engine’s internal components work harder as the dirt and other particles can cause corrosion and decrease the life of an engine.
Beyond tracking your mileage, other ways to tell if your vehicle is in need of an oil change are:
- Your engine has become noisy or jumpy
- Oil has turned black
- Your “Check Engine” or “Check Oil” light comes on
