Routine maintenance is crucial to keeping your vehicle running well and can save time and money in the long run. Oil changes are a key part of vehicle maintenance. The oil in your engine acts as a lubricate that prevents moving parts in the engine from rubbing against each other, thus preventing friction, damage, and excess wear.
Motor oil also cleans as it lubricates, picking up dirt and contaminates. If you go too long between oil changes, the oil becomes saturated with contaminants and will no longer hold them in suspension. When this happens, the contaminants fall out of the oil and collect on the engine, forming deposits known as sludge. Regular oil changes remove contaminates before sludge can form, resulting in a cleaner, more efficient engine.
