An oil change is one of the most fundamental and essential maintenance tasks for any vehicle. Motor oil plays a crucial role in lubricating the engine’s moving parts, reducing friction, and preventing wear and tear. Over time, however, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt, debris, and combustion by-products, which can diminish its effectiveness.

​

Regular oil changes help ensure that your engine runs smoothly and efficiently. Fresh oil keeps the engine clean, reduces the risk of overheating, and maximizes fuel efficiency. It also helps prevent costly engine damage that can occur if old, dirty oil is left in the engine for too long.

​

The frequency of oil changes depends on several factors, including the type of oil used (conventional, synthetic, or blended), the vehicle's age, and driving conditions. Most manufacturers recommend changing the oil every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, but it's important to consult your vehicle's owner’s manual for specific guidelines.
