Why Is Changing Your Oil So Important?
The oil in your engine is a key component of a car. The engine oil is the driving force of your car. It lubricates components of the engine to keep them from grinding and keep it cool. The oil assists the engine in a number of ways. It helps protect the engine by keeping it clean from dirt, which defends the engine's operation. Oil reduces friction and wear, which can also improve the fuel economy of your vehicle. Lastly, it reduces the heat inside the engine and redistributes it to other components of the engine.

How to Check Engine Oil Level?
Regularly testing the oil level can help the driver ensure oil health and upkeep proper oil levels. To start, it's better to check the oil when the engine has cooled down to not touch the hot engine parts. When checking the oil level, most dipsticks have guidelines to display if the oil level is low and needs to be topped off. Also when using the dipstick, you can look at the oil color. If the oil is smooth and a lighter color, it's okay. However, if the oil is dark and appears to be sludgier, then it's best to replace it.

How to Check for an Oil Leak?
If your dipstick constantly shows low oil levels then you may have a leak. There are a number of ways to check for an oil leak, which is essential because a leak could cause harm to the car's engine. If there are dark puddles under your car, it could be a result of its oil pan slowly leaking oil. Smoke from the engine or the smell of burning oil could be an important sign of an oil leak. Also, the engine overheating could possibly be a result of an oil leak.

How Often to Change Motor Oil?
Learning when to replace your car's engine oil is important to prevent damage to the engine in your car. While some may suggest a short engine oil change interval from 3,000-5,000 miles, it's recommended to have your oil replaced every six months or 5,000 to 7,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you are worried about when you should have an oil change you should contact our service department for more accurate information about your vehicle.
