Engine oil does more than lubricate your engine. It helps reduce friction between moving components, helps manage engine temperatures, and carries contaminants away from critical engine parts.
Over time, engine oil breaks down and can become contaminated with dirt and other particles. Following the oil change schedule recommended for your vehicle helps maintain proper lubrication, support engine performance, and reduce unnecessary wear.
The right oil change interval depends on your vehicle, the type of oil used, driving conditions, mileage, and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
