An oil change is one of the most essential maintenance services for keeping your vehicle in top condition. Motor oil lubricates the engine’s moving parts, reduces friction, and helps prevent premature wear. Over time, oil breaks down and collects dirt, debris, and combustion by-products, which reduces its ability to protect the engine.

Regular oil changes keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently. Fresh oil helps maintain engine cleanliness, lowers the risk of overheating, improves fuel efficiency, and protects against costly engine damage caused by old or contaminated oil.

Oil change intervals vary based on factors such as the type of oil used (conventional, synthetic, or blended), vehicle age, and driving conditions. While many manufacturers recommend oil changes every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the most accurate maintenance schedule.
