Oil Change
|
Changing your vehicle's oil is one of the most
important things you can do to extend its life. During an oil
change, the technician will drain out the old motor oil and replace it
with new motor oil. The oil filter also gets replaced at the same time.
The main purpose of oil is to lubricate. As oil ages, it breaks down and
becomes less effective at lubricating. Old oil, low oil pressure and
lack of oil can all cause damage to your engine as the moving parts of
the engine rub together and wear each other out.
Manufacturer recommended maintenance schedules typically suggest
changing your oil every 3,000 -7,000 miles. Factors like driving in cold
climates, towing a trailer, or aggressive driving, can make it necessary
to change your oil more often. At a minimum, oil should be changed twice
each year.
It is also a good idea to keep an eye on your pressure gauge and also
check the oil level regularly between il changes. If the gauge shows
that the pressure is very low, if the "oil" light comes on, or the
dipstick registers below the "safe" level, address the
situation immediately. You may need to add oil.
If you regularly run low on oil, be sure to report it;
you may have a leak or may be burning oil.
