Why are Oil Changes Necessary?

Engine oil provides the lubrication for your engine by keeping the movie parts well-lubricated and helping to reduce heat buildup as you drive. Without routine oil changes, the oil will start to wear down and lose effectiveness over time. This can lead to serious damage to your engine, leaving you with an expensive repair bill that could be easily avoided.

How Often Should You Get an Oil Change?

Typically, our service team recommends that you get an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but this number can fluctuate based on different factors. You might need one sooner rather than later if you deal with colder or warmer temperatures, as well as when you idle in heavy traffic. You might also find that some synthetic engine oil blends don't need regular oil changes as often, allowing you to drive further before your next appointment.
