Why Regular Oil Changes Matter
Your engine oil does more than just lubricate moving parts it keeps your vehicle cool, clean and protected from wear. Over time, oil breaks down and collects debris, reducing its ability to protect the engine.
That’s why regular oil changes are critical for:
- Extending engine life and performance
- Improving fuel economy
- Preventing overheating and friction damage
- Keeping your engine running quieter and cleaner
Most vehicles should have an oil change every 3,000–7,500 miles, depending on your manufacturer’s recommendations. If you’re unsure, our technicians can help determine the best schedule for your vehicle and driving habits.
