Changing the oil – the single most important thing you can do for your car.
Changing engine oil according to the schedule in your owner’s manual is the single most important thing you can do to keep your vehicle’s engine running smoothly.
That’s because engine oil keeps hundreds of rapidly moving parts from wearing excessively and overheating through friction. As your engine works, debris and carbon accumulate, changing engine oil from a clear honey color to brown to black. Those black carbon particles act like sand, wearing down engine parts and increasing heat.
A good engine oil provides lubrication, greatly reducing engine wear. But as carbon accumulates and heat breaks the oil down over time, you need to replace that dirty oil and filter with fresh, new oil that will keep your engine running smoothly and guard against costly repairs.
For best results, follow recommendations found in your vehicle owner’s manual. Oil should normally be changed every 3,000 to 4,000 miles – and even more frequently as your mileage increases. Don’t know how long it’s been? Check your oil dipstick. If the oil is a medium or dark brown colour, it’s time for an oil change. Or let us remind you: simply sign up for {Tiger1 automatic maintenance reminders} [link to maintenance reminders} and we’ll let you know when it’s time to change the oil.
