Seeing the oil change warning light up on your dashboard is never a nice sight and many drivers tend to ignore it. Oil changes are one of the most frequent routine maintenance issues and also one of the most important.

Why Do I Need To Have My Oil Changed?

The oil in your engine works hard to do multiple things. Not only does it lubricate the engine's parts, but it also cleans and cools your engine as it's pushed around. Over time, the oil can become too thin, sludgy, or dirty and need to be replaced. If left unchanged, the oil won't do what it's designed to do and cause a larger engine issue that will be much more expensive and time-consuming to fix.

What's The Difference Between Synthetic And Conventional Oil?

Conventional oil is refined crude oil, while synthetic oil is a combination of man-made chemical compounds that resemble crude oil. Conventional oil is less expensive and can be found in multiple places. Synthetic oil is more expensive but also lasts longer and is said to be better for your vehicle's engine. It also produces fewer emissions and allows for better fuel and oil economy.

How Do I Know I Need An Oil Change?

When do you need to change your oil? Most newer vehicles will alert you when it's time to have your oil changed. In general, most models require an oil change every 3,000 to 6,000 miles. Of course, this all depends on the age, type, and powertrain of your vehicle. We suggest looking in your owner's manual to see the specific suggested timeline for your car's oil change.
