Why Is Oil Important?

While oil seems like a relatively simple component in your car’s overall performance, its importance cannot be understated. It is essential to your vehicle and its ability to not only run properly, but also its ability to run at all.

When oil enters your vehicle, it immediately goes to work within your powertrain. Here, it serves a number of important roles. Most notably, it will clean and lubricate the engine. As it cycles, it will pick up dirt and debris and allow different components to interact with each properly.

So, why does oil need to be changed? Well, as every other car part does, oil experiences wear. Usually, for every 5,000 to 7,500 miles you drive, your oil will become too dirty to serve its intended purpose. When this happens, you could experience declining vehicle performance indicated by excess vehicle exhaust and unusual engine noises, meaning it needs to be changed.

How to Change Oil

As covered above, oil is critically important and needs to be changed quite regularly. The good news? An oil change is relatively easy to complete. In fact, you could even try to complete your own DIY oil change at home. Whether you want to try your hand at home or feel more comfortable having our team handle it, the same steps will be followed:

1. First, the vehicle needs to be raised up to access the oil pan underneath.

2. Next, the drain plugs will need to be removed so that the old oil can drain out.

3. At this time, the oil filter will also need to be removed.

4. From there, the drain plugs will need to be inserted back in and a new oil filter will need to be added.

5. The car will then be ready to receive new oil.

6. All that will be left from there is checking the oil levels to make sure everything is ready to go.

Just like that, in a few quick steps, your oil change will be complete!
