Importance of an Oil Change
Importance of an Oil Change
Brought to you by DCH Temecula CDJR
There are many different ways that you can go about making sure that your vehicle stays in great condition for years to come. While we always suggest regular maintenance, what we want to specifically focus on is the importance of an oil change for your vehicle. Some people tend to skip over something as basic as an oil change, which can cause a lot of harm to your vehicle in the long run. Here at DCH Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Temecula, we want our customers to be provided with the most accurate and important information around. That is why, down below, we’re going to be telling you why you should never be putting off that oil change that your vehicle is due for. We know it’s annoying to take the time out of your day, but here at our service center, we can get it done quickly and efficiently. Keep reading down below!
Reduce engine wear
The very first thing we want to note is that oil changes are there to help your engine. We know it’s simple to say, but that fact alone should make you realize how important of a factor they are in overall performance. When you get an oil change, you are doing your best to remove any dirt that could have accumulated, which after a while, can turn into something like sludge. Sludge will wreak havoc on vehicles, creating real problems when it comes to how your engine functions. No one wants to have to deal with an engine that isn’t performing the way it should, and could possibly need some repairs. A clean engine is a healthy engine.
Extend vehicle life
Jumping right off of the previous point, when you actively take care of your vehicle, and your engine, you are making sure that you can drive it for years to come. An engine that has too much sludge, or just old oil that has been gathering dirt, you are reducing its lifespan, which will end up with you spending more money than you might want to in order to fix it. The longer your engine lasts, the more money you save, and the longer you can drive a vehicle that you truly love.
Better fuel economy
An engine that is suffering with sludge and other build-up is not going to be working as efficiently as it could otherwise. Regular oil changes allow your engine to not use up as much fuel, which will save you money at the gas pump, and it will just alert you that your vehicle has been functioning the way it should. The longer you put off an oil change, the more likely you are to notice that your engine is struggling to get the same kind of performance that you’re used to.
Provides lubrication
You’ve heard about what bad oil can do to your engine, but you might not realize what the job of oil is. The fact is, the inside of your engine is a lot of small metal parts that are moving incredibly fast. Without lubrication, those parts hit each other, causing heat and friction that in turn, destroy the different parts. When you add in oil, you are reducing heat, and keeping the system functioning the way it should.
