Never Skip That Oil Change

---

A lot of us grew up with the same instructions: change your oil every 3,000 miles.  We never questioned why, or what would happen if we didn’t follow through.  Here’s a brief overview:
What the Oil Does The oil in your vehicle does a lot to keep it running smoothly. The most important job is to lubricate the engine and carry heat away from your engine. As the oil in your vehicle circulates through your engine, it continuously lubricates the thousands of engine components that have to work together in order to make your car operational. At the same time, as the oil moves around the engine, it draws the heat that the engine produces away from the engine.
Why You Have to Change the Oil  Unfortunately, as the oil moves it also picks up dirt and other small pieces of debris from the engine. While this helps to keep the engine free of these particles, over time the oil gets too dirty to be effective. This is why the oil has to be changed.
What Happens When You Skip An Oil Change  If the oil isn’t changed, your vehicle’s engine will start to have a lot of problems. The most common issue is that the parts in your engine will become too hot. This can cause the engine to run less efficiently, and as time goes on, it can cause the engine components to warp and wear out. The lack of lubrication between these parts will also contribute to these problems.

While the above problems can be scary, there is good news! Getting your car’s oil changed is one of the least expensive maintenance items available. It also doesn’t take long! So, love your car !
