Having your vehicle’s oil and filters changed are two of the most essential types of vehicle maintenance. If your oil and filters are not changed on a regular basis then this can lead to many more serious issues for your vehicle down the road. The oil provides lubrication to the engine while also maintaining the optimum temperature. Therefore, having clean, fresh oil helps to prevent wear and tear from the moving parts causing too much friction constantly rubbing against each other while also maintaining a consistent temperature level so that the engine does not overheat. Plus, changing your filter helps to keep the system clean since a fresh filter will be more efficient at filtering dirt and grime than one that is already full.
Do You Know The Difference Between Conventional & Synthetic Oils? - We’ll Advise You
It is important to know the difference between conventional and synthetic oils and which is the recommended option for your vehicle. Also, be sure to check the recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle so that you you can be aware of how often the oil in your vehicle should be changed.
Oil Change Frequency - Do You Know Your Vehicle’s Recommended Interval? We’ll Help You
Most vehicles recommend that you have the oil changed about every 3,000 miles or three months for conventional oil. This type of oil includes additives that are designed to breakdown resistance, provide the proper level of heat tolerance, and maintain the viscosity (thickness and fluidity) that is required for the engine powering your vehicle. This type of oil is the most common and is generally sufficient for most vehicles but you should consult with a technician before deciding whether it is right for your vehicle.
Oil Change Frequency for Synthetic Oil is LONGER than for Conventional Oil - We Know
For synthetic oil, it is recommended that you change your oils about every 6,000 miles or six months. These types of oil have been designed to provide proper lubrication at the highest level in both high and low temperatures. It also has the best cleansing capabilities to keep your engine as clean as possible at all times. The high quality of the “full synthetic” oils are what enable it to last longer so that you do not have to have your oil changed as frequently, but they are generally more expensive.
