It does not matter if you’re an automotive enthusiast or just need something to get to work or school, your car is indispensable. Regular maintenance is critical, to ensure that your car is ready when you need it. Arguably, the most meaningful routine maintenance item is the oil change. Your vehicle’s engine can not just lose performance but could get damaged or ruined in some extreme cases without regular oil changes.
Get Superior Performance
It doesn’t matter if your vehicle is brand new or a one-of-a-kind classic, routine oil changes can help safeguard your engine and give improved performance. Motors produce heat and new oil is better at diminishing that heat than used oil. A smoother, cleaner running engine will not only give you more power but may also raise the fuel economy of your car AND reduce harmful emissions. Possibly even more important, a motor that’s routinely taken care of should last longer. Periodic oil changes help remove dirt and debris from the motor, giving the engine its best opportunity at extended life. An additional small bonus is that when the technician is under your car they may find something that needs consideration so you can fix it before it leaves you stranded.
Not Every Oil Change is Equal
At one time, your only decision when getting an oil change was choosing the weight of the oil (5W-30, etc.). Now you can pick from a synthetic blend of oil, regular oil, and synthetic oil. There are also new oil classes to choose from, such as Racing Oil, High Mileage Oil, and Diesel formulas. With so many choices it may be difficult to decide which is the right option for your car. Talk with one of our experienced techs and they’ll help you pick the right fit because the needs of your weekend cruiser are quite different from a brand-new hybrid. Regardless of what you drive, our techs are ready to help.
