Why is getting my car’s oil changed important?

Oil acts as a lubricant for your engine and all of its moving parts. When your oil quality is low, that means that lubrication decreases, which can cause damage to your engine. Regular oil changes will ensure that your car is getting a continuous flow of high-quality oil to keep your engine running smoothly.

How do I know when my car needs an oil change?

The average car should have its oil changed or at least checked every 3,000 to 10,000 miles, which can vary between makes and models. However, if you notice any of the following warning signs, it’s time to consult a technician.

• The check engine light comes on.
• The oil is dark in color or silty.
• The engine runs loudly.
• The oil levels appear lower.
