What is an Oil Change?

An oil change is a routine maintenance service that involves draining old engine oil and replacing it with fresh, clean oil. This process helps to lubricate the engine, reduce friction, and remove dirt and debris that can build up over time.

Why is an Oil Change Important?

Regular oil changes are essential for keeping your engine running smoothly and efficiently. Oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine, reducing wear and tear and preventing overheating. Over time, oil can become contaminated with dirt and debris, which can cause damage to the engine if not replaced regularly.

How Often Should You Get an Oil Change?

The frequency of oil changes can vary depending on the make and model of your car, as well as your driving habits. As a general rule of thumb, most manufacturers recommend getting an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. However, it's always best to consult your owner's manual or speak with a professional technician to determine the best schedule for your vehicle.

Signs Your Car Needs an Oil Change

There are several signs that indicate your car may need an oil change. These include:

• • Dark, dirty oil
• • Loud engine noise
• • Check engine light is on
• • Excessive exhaust smoke
