Why Are Oil Changes So Important?

Regular oil changes are necessary to ensure the proper performance of a car’s engine. An oil change, which involves installing a new engine oil filter and draining old engine oil and replacing it with fresh, clean oil, offers many benefits.

Cleaner Engine

Over time, as oil becomes saturated with contaminants, excess particles are left behind in the engine, where they can form deposits and cause significant wear to the engine. Oversaturated oil loses its lubrication, which will eventually lead to an overworking engine, excess heat, and engine failure.

Lower Vehicle Emissions

Clean oil enables an engine to run cleaner, and a cleaner running engine emits less exhaust than a dirty engine. An oil change replaces old, dirty engine oil with clean engine oil. Clean oil is better able to absorb harmful engine particles and engine by-product emissions

Better Gas Mileage

Clean quality engine oil provides better lubrication and friction-reducing capabilities than old, dirty engine oil. Increased engine lubrication results in less engine friction. This allows an engine to run easier and smoother and leads to increased gas mileage.

Better Engine Performance

Clean engine oil allows an engine’s internal parts to operate easier and smoother, enabling an engine to maximize its mechanical output. This leads to not only an INCREASE in gas mileage, but also an INCREASE in engine performance.
