Importance of Regular Oil & Filter Changes
Maintaining your car's health is crucial, and a big part of that includes regular oil and filter changes. Here's why this maintenance task should be at the top of your to-do list:
- Maximize Engine Performance: Fresh, clean oil acts as a lubricant for all those moving parts in your engine. It helps to reduce friction, allowing your engine to run smoothly and efficiently. This means better gas mileage and more money in your pocket at the end of the day.
- Prevent Wear and Tear: Think about it - without proper lubrication, your engine parts are rubbing together. This can cause excessive wear and tear over time, leading to costly repairs down the line. Regular oil and filter changes are a small investment compared to the cost of major engine work.
- Avoid Engine Failure: This is the big one. If old oil gets too dirty, it can clog up your engine, leading to complete engine failure. Not only is this an expensive problem to fix, but it can also leave you stranded at the worst times.
- Keep Your Oil Clean: Over time, oil can accumulate dirt and debris from your engine. Regular oil changes ensure that this dirt is removed, preventing corrosion and extending the life of your engine.
So why wait? Schedule your oil and filter change today. Not only will your car thank you for it, but you'll also feel the difference every time you get behind the wheel. At Christian Brothers Automotive Lakeway, we're all about providing a positive customer experience, and that includes helping you understand the benefits of regular maintenance. Let's keep your car running smoothly together!
Common Signs Your Car Needs an Oil or Filter Change
Regular oil and filter changes are critical to maintaining your car's performance and longevity. Neglecting these essential services can lead to engine damage and costly repairs. Here are some common signs that your car might need an oil or filter change, and how we can help you keep your vehicle running smoothly.
- Oil Change Light: One of the most obvious signs is the oil change light on your dashboard. Ignoring this light can lead to severe engine issues.
- Engine Noise and Knocking: When your oil becomes old and dirty, it loses its lubricating properties, causing increased friction and potentially damaging internal components. If you hear unusual engine noises or knocking sounds, it's time for an oil change.
- Dark, Dirty Oil: Fresh oil is typically amber in color. As it accumulates dirt and debris, it turns darker. Regularly checking the oil's color can help you determine when it's time for a change.
- Exhaust Smoke: While some vapor from your exhaust is normal, excessive smoke can indicate oil problems. This could mean there’s an oil leak or the oil is too old to be effective.
- Mileage: Following the manufacturer’s recommended oil change intervals is crucial. If you’ve driven more miles than advised since your last oil change, schedule one as soon as possible.
- Oil Smell Inside the Car: A strong smell of oil inside your vehicle usually indicates a leak. This can be hazardous and should be addressed immediately.
