Why is Engine Oil Important?

The primary function of motor oil is to lubricate the engine's moving components. Proper lubrication allows all the different engine parts to move without generating too much friction. If friction builds up, it will dramatically slow down the engine's running. It would also generate a lot of heat which could cause a significant amount of damage to vital engine components.

Why Do You Need Routine Oil Changes?

Over time, engine oil becomes dirty and grimy and doesn't perform its job efficiently. Running an engine with deteriorated oil can lead to underperformance or even damage to engine internals. Routinely replacing oil is vital to extending engine life and maintaining performance.

How Often Do I Need an Oil Change?

Typically, engine oil lasts around 5,000 - 7,500 miles, with some full-synthetic oils lasting 15,000 miles. Our mechanics recommend following the oil change interval outlined in your owner's manual. It will give you a suitable timeframe based on your vehicle's oil usage and the type of oil.
