While you have likely heard about oil changes as an essential aspect of maintenance, you may not have a clear idea of why it's so important. At Wagner Kia of Shrewsbury, we are here to help you maximize the longevity of your vehicle and keep it running smoothly, and a large part of that is knowing when and where to get an oil change.
Learn more about the importance of oil changes and why so many Shrewsbury drivers choose us.
Motor oil is vital to keep your engine lubricated to reduce friction and heat. You don't have to know the mechanics of an engine to picture lots of metal components moving quickly against one another, which creates a lot of heat and friction. Motor oil keeps the friction and heat at a safe level so that your engine runs smoothly.
Particles and debris will slowly get past your oil filter and enter the motor oil, which will eventually begin to lose its effectiveness. Old oil will allow heat and friction to build up again and can slowly damage your engine. Spending money on routine oil changes is much less expensive than repairing or replacing engine components.
The best way to stay on top of your oil changes is by working with our highly skilled technicians and checking your owner's manual for recommended intervals. However, the rule of thumb is to get an oil change every six months or 3,000 miles, but with some synthetic oils, that interval can be even longer.
Keep in mind that your driving habits and conditions could make your oil intervals shorter. Some of the factors that may shorten your oil change interval include towing, stop-and-start traffic, and extreme temperatures.
To keep your engine running smoothly, schedule an oil change with us today!
