Our biggest goal here at Steve Jones CDJR is to provide our customers with all of the information they need so that they can make the best decisions for both themselves and the vehicle they are driving. Today we want to focus on one kind of service that we are very quick to suggest whenever anyone is wondering about the kind of regular maintenance it takes to keep any vehicle in excellent condition. This, of course, is an oil change. Something that many are you are familiar with, but might not understand why it is so completely vital. To learn more about the importance of an oil change, and what Steve Jones CDJR can help you with at our service center, keep reading down below!
Engine lubrication
The first thing we want our customers to understand is the purpose of engine oil. While you’ve heard about it plenty throughout your time owning or driving a vehicle, you might not be aware of its specific use in an engine. The more you are better able to see why a component is necessary, the more vigilant you’ll be about keeping everything running smoothly. Engine oil is used as a lubricant inside of an engine. There are small pieces of metal that are quickly moving at all times, causing heat, and rubbing against one another. To reduce any damage that could happen inside of the engine, the lubrication, called engine oil, is used to keep things running without any major issues occurring. Without engine oil, the entire system breaks down, and you don’t have a vehicle to drive.
Cleans engine
The engine in your vehicle is bound to get dirty. Whether it’s environmental things, such as dirt, or just particles that are bound to accumulate due to the quickly moving metals, anything is possible. But what can you do to combat that? By keeping up with regular oil changes, about twice a year, you are putting fresh oil inside of a system. This means that all of the old oil is being removed, and this includes the kind of dirt and grime that would otherwise start to build up and cause real issues with the engine and its efficiency. Anytime engine oil sits for too long, it is bound to start becoming sludge, which is something no one should have to deal with.
Promotes longevity
When you have a healthy engine that has healthy upkeep, not only are you going to experience fewer issues in the short term, but the long term, too. This means you won’t have to replace as many parts in the engine, or you might not even have to ever consider getting the entire engine swapped out for a new one. Those are costly repairs that often end in the necessity to simply buy a different vehicle. With consistent oil changes, you’ll be able to keep your current ride going for a long time.
