Why Oil & Filter Changes Matter
Skipping oil changes might not seem like a big deal, but they are crucial for maintaining a healthy engine. Oil lubricates the moving parts in your engine, ensuring it runs smoothly. Over time, oil degrades and no longer performs as well, leading to potential engine problems if left unchanged.
At Christian Brothers Automotive Fort Collins, we specialize in oil and filter changes. Our expert technicians will refill your oil and replace the filter while performing a complimentary courtesy inspection to assess your vehicle's overall health and safety.
Benefits of Regular Oil Changes
- Improves Gas Mileage: Clean oil reduces friction between your engine’s moving parts, allowing for better fuel efficiency and a smoother ride.
- Reduces Emissions: Regular oil changes help minimize your vehicle’s environmental impact by ensuring cleaner burning oil.
- Prevents Sludge Buildup: Fresh oil and filters trap and remove debris, preventing sludge from accumulating in your engine.
- Enhances Performance: A well-lubricated engine provides a smoother driving experience, reducing friction and wear.
- Prolongs Engine Life: Consistent oil and filter changes can add years to your vehicle’s lifespan by keeping it well-maintained and efficient.
