Oil Change 101: Why Oil Changes Are Important for Your Car

 

If you want your ride to last and perform at its best, you gotta get regular oil changes. It’s an important part of your routine maintenance to make sure your vehicle runs well and runs for as long as possible. Here's why:

 

Lubrication: Your car's engine has lots of moving parts that need lubrication to work properly. Fresh oil keeps them from rubbing together with too much friction and causing damage.

 

Cooling: Engines can get super hot, but the oil helps keep them from overheating. It absorbs heat and transfers it away from the combustion chamber.

 

Cleansing: Oil picks up dirt and debris as it flows through the engine, keeping it clean and preventing buildup that can cause problems later.

Efficiency: Fresh oil means less friction, which means your engine runs more efficiently and uses less gas.

 

Longevity: Regular oil changes can keep your engine running smoothly for longer, preventing damage and saving you money on expensive repairs down the road.

 

At Honest Wrenches, we recommend getting your oil changed every 5,000-7,500 miles, depending on your car's make and model. Our skilled mechanics use only top-notch oil and filters to give your engine the TLC it deserves.
