Why Is Changing Your Car or Truck Oil Important?
A critical component of your car is oil. Whether it's working to keep the lubricating sections of the engine or keeping it cool, the oil is the lifeline for your car. The oil aids the engine in a number of ways. It helps defend the engine by keeping it clean from debris, which protects engine operation. Oil reduces wear and friction, which can also enrich the fuel economy of your car. Lastly, it reduces the heat within the engine and redistributes it to other components of the engine. If you are worried about the status of your engine oil, contact our service professionals for a vehicle inspection.

How to Read Oil Level?
Consistently testing the engine oil level can help the driver ensure oil health and maintain proper oil levels. To start the process, it's better to test the oil when the engine has cooled down to avoid touching the hot engine parts. When checking the oil, many dipsticks have lines to show if the oil level is too low and needs to be topped off. Also when using the dipstick, you can inspect the oil color. If the oil is smooth and a lighter color, it shouldn't be changed. But, if the oil appears sludgy and dark, then it should be changed.

How to Know if You Have an Engine Oil Leak?
It's possible that you may have a leak if your dipstick consistently displays low oil levels. There are a number of ways to test for oil leakage, which is important because a leak could cause damage to your car's engine. If there are dark puddles under your car, it is possibly a result of its oil pan leaking oil. The scent of burning oil or smoke from the engine may also be an essential sign of an oil leak. Also, the engine overheating could be another result of an oil leak.

How Long Can I Go Without an Oil Change ?
Learning when to change your car's engine oil is critical to negate damage to the engine in your vehicle. While some may recommend a short oil change interval from 3,000-5,000 miles, it is recommended to have your oil replaced every 5,000 to 7,000 mi. or six months, whichever comes first. However, if you are uncertain about when to change your oil you should reach out to our service department for more accurate info about your vehicle.
