Most drivers understand that routine maintenance is important to automotive performance. What they may not realize is why this service is so crucial and what happens if it's not taken care of regularly. At Tyler Honda, we like to help our customers stay well-informed when it comes to car care, so we've put together this overview of oil changes and why they matter.
Typically, your oil should be changed every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. You'll want to look for the exact service recommendations in your vehicle's manual to be sure. Having the oil and oil filter changed on a routine schedule ensures proper viscosity, or thickness, of the oil. Saint Joseph drivers should also stay on top of oil changes to be sure levels don't go too low and that their oil is clean. This combination provides adequate lubrication to moving parts in your engine, which reduces friction and regulates engine temperature. Essentially, you need regular oil changes so that your engine doesn't have to work so hard.
Whether you only drive around town or you take frequent road trips, it's essential that you stick to your model's recommended service schedule. It's easy to fall behind, but there are some signs to look for that will let you know an oil change is due.
