The Importance of Routine Oil Changes
Motor oil is the lifeblood of your engine. You don't need to know much about engines' finer mechanics to know that engines can create a lot of heat with metal components moving against each other at high speeds. Motor oil reduces friction and heat for smooth engine performance. However, engine particles and debris enter the oil over time and reduce their effectiveness.
When your motor oil is too old or dirty, it can cause excess heat build-up and even damage your engine. Regular oil changes maximize the longevity of your engine and ensure a smooth driving experience. As a general rule, we recommend you change your oil every six months or 3,000 miles. Contact our service experts and consult your owner's manual to find the best interval for your vehicle and driving.
When to Change Your Oil Filter
The oil filter is directly related to the cleanliness of your motor oil. An oil filter looks like a perforated metal can that filters out most of the debris that would enter your motor oil. Our service technicians can check your oil filter to see if it needs replacing and find the right oil filter replacement that meets your vehicle's standards.
