Reasons to Get an Oil Change
Oil is one of the most important components for your engine. It moves through the system, lubricating all the moving parts to prevent wear and tear by reducing friction. It also helps form a seal around the pistons and rings to prevent leaks. Oil helps keep the engine cooler because it doesn't have to work as hard to power the vehicle. Another job for oil is cleaning your engine. If you didn't have oil in the engine, carbon and other debris would build up and damage the engine.
Having clean fresh oil helps your engine run better while maximizing your fuel economy, so you can save on gas. Oil also helps your vehicle last longer and need fewer repairs down the road.

How Often to Have an Oil Change
How often you need an oil change can depend on a few factors. First it depends on the age of your vehicle. Older models were designed to have the oil changed every three 1000 miles while newer vehicles can go 5000 to 7500 miles or even more. Also consider what type of oil you're using. Conventional oil needs to be changed more often than synthetic oil. The best thing to do is to check your owner's manual which will tell you what type of oil to use and how often to have your oil changed. Many newer models also include a light on the dashboard that comes on when it's time for an oil change.
