Oil changes rank among the most common and most basic items on your car's routine maintenance list, but they're also among the most important. Why? Your engine needs plenty of oil to help it perform smoothly and reduce wear and tear, so neglecting this seemingly small service item can have devastating consequences that can lead to costly repairs. Fortunately, our team is here to help you tackle all your oil change needs so that you can enjoy better vehicle performance and an engine that lasts longer.

Why Your Car Needs Regular Oil Changes

Your engine oil's primary purpose is to keep your engine's fast-moving parts lubricated. Proper lubrication helps to reduce friction between engine parts, which cuts back on wear and tear and helps to keep your engine from overheating.

However, oil gets dirty and breaks down as time goes on, which can do your engine more harm than good. So, it's important to schedule regular oil changes so that your engine always has plenty of fresh, clean oil to help it run more efficiently.

When to Change Your Oil

Most vehicles need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every six months. You can also check your oil yourself to see if it needs to be changed. If your oil is dark brown or black, that's a sign that your oil is too old or contaminated to do its job, so it's time for an oil change.
