Oil Change
Maintaining your car’s peak performance doesn’t have to be complicated. Regular oil changes ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently. Oil serves as a lubricant in your engine, lowering heat and friction between moving parts while preventing excessive wear. Your oil filter helps to prevent engine damage by removing dirt and debris that become suspended in the oil, which causes it to lose effectiveness and reduce fuel efficiency.
Signs You Need an Oil Change
Here are some obvious signals that your car is due for an oil change:
Increased Gas Consumption: Dirty oil can hinder engine efficiency, leading to a noticeable drop in fuel economy.
Dirty or Black Oil: Clean engine oil is usually light brown or amber. Dark, dirty oil signifies a build-up of contaminants.
Mileage: A general guideline is to change your oil every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. However, consult your owner’s manual for specific recommendations based on your car’s make, model, and driving habits.
Low Oil Level: Check your oil level regularly with a dipstick. If the oil level is consistently low, top-ups might be necessary, but frequent top-ups indicate a potential leak or time for a change.
Oil Warning Light: This is the most obvious sign. If your oil warning light comes on, pull over safely and schedule an oil change as soon as possible.
