If your vehicle is going to run correctly and last for years, regular maintenance is essential. This includes oil changes. It is important that you have your oil changed every 3,000 miles. If you drive a newer vehicle and your mechanic uses high-quality motor oil, you can go 5,000 to 7,500 miles between oil changes. If you use synthetic oil in your vehicle, you can drive up to 15,000 miles before getting an oil change.
The oil in your engine is responsible for keeping the parts lubricated and working properly. Over time, metal chips, dirt, and other debris can build up in the oil. This debris degrades the oil and it won’t be able to do what it was designed to do. When you have your oil changed, the old dirty oil will be replaced with fresh, clean oil.
When you bring your vehicle to have the oil changed, it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes. The mechanic will first drain all of your old oil out into an oil pan so that it can be disposed of. They will also need to replace the oil filter. The oil filter is designed to catch any dirt and debris. Over time, the dirt and debris will build up in the air filter, making it ineffective over time. During your oil change, the mechanic will replace the oil filter. Finally, the engine will be refilled with clean oil.
Regular oil changes are essential for the health of your engine. If the oil gets too dirty, corroded or degraded, it won’t keep the parts of the engine properly lubricated, which can cause the internal parts to wear down. If the damage gets too severe, there is nothing you can do. You would either need to replace the engine or the vehicle itself, both of which are very expensive.
