Expert Oil Change Services For Seaside Area Drivers
An oil change is a routine maintenance task that is essential for the proper functioning of a car’s engine. Oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine, preventing them from wearing down too quickly, and also helps to keep the engine cool. Over time, oil becomes dirty and loses its ability to lubricate and cool effectively, which is why regular oil changes are necessary.
When Should You Get Your Oil Changed?
The frequency of oil changes depends on the type of oil used, the make and model of the vehicle, and the driving conditions. Most manufacturers recommend oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. However, if you drive under severe conditions such as a lot of stop-and-go traffic, frequently towing, or driving in extreme heat or cold, you may need to change your oil more frequently. It is always recommended to consult the owner’s manual of your vehicle for the specific recommendations and schedule for oil changes.
Oil Change Procedures
During an oil change, a mechanic will drain the old oil from the engine, replace the oil filter, and then refill the engine with fresh oil. It is important to use the correct type of oil for your vehicle as specified by the manufacturer. Also, it is recommended to use a high-quality oil filter.
When an oil change is done, the mechanic will also check the condition of the oil, and might report any concerns or issues that they might find, like low oil level, or dark and dirty oil. This might be indicative of a larger issue with the engine.
It’s important to note that skipping or delaying oil changes can cause serious damage to the engine. The lack of proper lubrication can cause the moving parts of the engine to wear down quickly, resulting in costly repairs.
