Oil Change

Engine oil is an important part of keeping your car running smoothly and efficiently. It lubricates all of the internal moving parts in the engine, reducing friction and preventing premature wear. If the oil isn't changed on a regular basis, build-up of debris can clog the oil filter and impede its ability to pass oil into the engine. That's why it's important to make sure you don't miss an oil change - scheduling regular oil changes with a quality service team is a quick and easy way to ensure your car runs at its best for longer.

 

What happens if you don’t change your engine oil at scheduled intervals?

Every car manufacturer recommends an oil change after a specified number of miles. Oil serves various purposes, such as protecting, cleaning, and cooling the engine. However, what are the consequences of not adhering to the recommended oil change interval or not changing the motor oil at all? Here is what could occur:

Wear and Tear of Parts:  An engine is filled with intricate parts such as pistons and valves that need to be safeguarded against friction. Engine oil plays an important role in reducing this wear-and-tear through its lubricating properties, but eventually, the oil will start to deteriorate past the recommended change interval, no longer providing protection from friction and resulting in eventual damage.

Sludge Build Up: Not only does engine oil lubricate and cool parts of the engine, but it also cleans away any debris or small particles that can accumulate over time. When these components are left unattended to, they will clog up oil channels thus lessening an engine's lifetime. Additionally, not replacing your oil as needed will cause a decrease in power due to the extra strain placed on a motor by this build-up. If changing your car's oil is neglected for too long, you'll experience gelling or solidifying of the material which could then turn into sludge; reducing its ability to reach all areas within an automobile’s system.

Overheating: Keeping your vehicle's coolant system in good condition is crucial to keeping the engine functioning efficiently; however, it's not enough. Engine oil also plays a critical role since it can access areas that cannot be reached by the coolant. As time passes and due to extended exposure to heat, this oil breaks down, becomes thicker and less effective at absorbing heat from parts of the engine – leading to potential overheating, damaged gaskets and warped components.

Increased fuel consumption: As the engine oil becomes sludgier, your vehicle must work harder to produce its desired output, resulting in a greater fuel intake of 1% - 2%. By retaining old engine oil you not only exhaust more resources but also release hazardous gases into our atmosphere.

Maintaining your vehicle by changing the oil and filter is significantly more cost-effective than repairing a damaged engine. Investing in premium quality engine oil that is altered at recommended intervals will provide your car with optimal performance while extending its life expectancy. Your car needs fuel, as well as motor oil to function correctly, so make sure you choose wisely!

 

How much does an oil change cost?

When it comes to the cost of an oil change, several considerations come into play: type of oil used, your location, and make/model of car. Generally speaking, a basic oil change can range from $20 - $50 while synthetic options often fall between $50 -$100 or more. To avoid any surprises at checkout time, always speak with a local service center for an exact price estimate tailored to meet your needs.

 

How long does synthetic oil last?

Compared to conventional oil, synthetic oil is designed to survive through higher temperatures and deliver enhanced performance. The period of time that the synthetic oil lasts is based on several variables such as the type of synthetic used, vehicle make/model, and driving conditions; however, it usually has a lifespan ranging from 7500-15000 miles.

Despite this, it is still essential to adhere to the manufacturer's suggestions for oil changes and routinely inspect your oil levels as well as its condition in order to ensure that your engine stays running smoothly and lasts a long time.
