Why Change Your Automotive Engine Oil?

Engine oil is very important to the health and life of your vehicle.


Just like the blood in your body and water in the desert, engine oil is VITAL. And without either of these, someone or something is going to die!

Engine Oil is an essential lubricant in your engine. It allows metal to press against metal without causing damage. For example, it lubricates pistons as they move up & down in the cylinders of your engine.
Without oil, the metal-on-metal friction creates so much heat that eventually the surfaces weld themselves together and the engine seizes.

But what happens if you never change your engine oil?

Two things will definitely happen:
  1. Very Dirty Oil! Dirt will accumulate in the oil. Yes, your oil filter can remove the dirt for a little while, but eventually the filter will clog and the dirty oil will automatically bypass the filter through a relief valve. Once oil gets dirty, it is thick and abrasive, so it causes more wear.
  2. Poor Lubrication! The additives in the oil like detergents, dispersants, rust-fighters and friction reducers will wear out. When this happens, the oil won't lubricate as well as it needs to.
Left unaddressed, the oil will continue to get dirtier & dirtier and lubrication will stop. In this state, the engine will quickly wear out and fail.

Neglected oil decreases the efficiency, performance and life expectancy of your engine. Your car engine will have to work harder under unnecessary stressful conditions, and it will burn up more gas while doing so. Then, the stressful environment leads to wear and tear and eventually damages vital engine components. And before you know it, you are spending thousands of dollars on car repairs that could have been avoided. So changing you oil is very important.

Keep good car care & maintenance habits, and CHANGE YOUR OIL & service your car regularly. It will increase performance, extend the life of your vehicle, save you money on gas and save you money from unnecessary repairs.

So be sure to change your oil regularly!
