Benefits of Oil Change

The engine is the heart of your vehicle. Motor oil runs through the engine just as blood flows through a human heart. Without routine oil changes, your car's ticker may not run as efficiently, making it even more important to take care of your ride's engine as time goes on.

To help Brockton, Randolph, and Stoughton, MA, drivers learn more about the benefits of oil changes, our Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CJDR) 24 team has put together the following guide. Let's jump into it!

Five Benefits of Routine Oil Changes

Oil changes are an essential service for gas-powered vehicles. Here's why:

1. Proper Engine Lubrication

Engines are complex machines made up of several moving parts and components. As your vehicle operates, these parts are moving at high-speed rates. To make sure these parts work together seamlessly, engine oil is needed. Motor oil keeps these parts properly lubricated.

Without routine oil changes, these parts may start to wear down more quickly due to increased friction as well as heat.

2. Cleans Your Engine

As motor oil passes through an engine, it collects dirt and particles to keep away from essential engine components. As oil ages, it breaks down and turns into sludge, which slows down an engine. With routine oil and oil filter changes, you can remove any sludge and dirty oil from the engine and replace them with fresh replenishments.

3. Engine Longevity

People say, "happy wife, happy life." In the car world, "new oil, no turmoil" is the motto. Actively keeping up with oil changes and other routine maintenance will help ensure your car is in good health. After all, you want a vehicle that performs effortlessly for a long time.

4. Improved Gas Mileage

When an engine is sludged up with old oil, it can cause your vehicle to work harder, which takes a hard hit to its fuel economy. However, a properly lubricated engine can lead to better fuel consumption. The short amount of time you dedicate to your car's oil change will come back as fuel savings in the future!

5. Cools Your Jets

Engine parts without proper lubrication create friction, which turns into heat. To avoid an overheated engine, schedule those routine oil changes. Your car's engine and your wallet will thank you for it.

How Often Do I Need an Oil Change?

Generally, cars can drive 5,000 to 7,500 miles between oil changes; however, every car is different! For instance, if your model uses full-synthetic motor oil, it can go as far as 15,000 miles between oil changes. How frequently your car will need an oil change also depends on several factors, like vehicle age, type of oil, and driving conditions.

One way to stay up to date on needed oil changes is to check your owner's manual for the recommended mileage interval. From there, you can keep a close eye on your odometer. Checking the sticker window for the last date of service and mileage is another safeguard.
