Why Are Regular Oil Changes Important?
To put it simply, regular oil changes keep your vehicle running smoothly. Without regular oil changes you could run into some expensive repairs down the road. The advantages to getting regular oil changes include:
- Proper engine lubrication
- Keeps the engine free from sludge
- Help keep the engine from overheating
- Improved gas mileage
- A longer vehicle lifespan
- According to Kelley Blue Book, a potentially higher resale value for your vehicle
When Does My Car Need An Oil Change?
Signs that your vehicle is due for an oil change:
- Every 3,000 to 7,500 miles driven
- Check Engine or Check Oil lights turning on
- Your oil turning black
- Your engine becomes loud or jumpy
Keep in mind, you should get your oil changed more frequently if you drive your vehicle under severe conditions. This includes regular drives through dusty areas, extreme heat, or high altitudes. You may also need more frequent oil changes if you regularly use your vehicle for towing or rarely drive farther than 10 miles at a time. Always check your owners manual for more detailed information on your vehicle's maintenance needs as all makes and models vary!
