How Do Oil Changes Help Your Vehicle? 

The engine oil that protects your vehicle’s powertrain system from engine degradation and harmful contaminants has a limited lifespan. As the oil ages, its ability to lubricate the engine’s various mechanisms starts to fade, and harmful dirt and debris may start to accumulate. By flushing out the old engine oil and replacing it with fresh oil, drivers are protecting their engine from mechanical wear and extending their powertrain’s lifespan. 

What Happens If Drivers Don’t Change Their Oil? 

When drivers neglect oil change service, they’re removing their engine’s first line of defense against external contaminants such as dirt, dust, and road debris. These contaminants can scratch and dent your engine’s mechanical components, shortening its lifespan. Similarly, old engine oil is worse at maintaining the engine’s heat, resulting in a greater risk of overheating and related issues. Failing to change your oil can result in worse performance, reduced fuel economy, and even permanent engine damage over time.
