Motor oil is responsible for keeping the inside of the engine cool, clean, and lubricated. As it ages, it begins to lose its ability to perform these tasks effectively. If left for too long, it will collect any dirt and debris it comes across until it produces a harmful sludge that can cause the engine to stop working entirely. Making sure the oil is changed on a regular basis prevents these events from occurring.
Exactly when an oil change needs to be completed is based on the type of oil that runs through your engine. An older car is likely to use conventional oil. It needs to be switched out every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or so. The synthetic oil that you’ll find in most newer vehicles can go a lot longer. The recommended interval in this case is 7,500 to 10,000 miles.
Remember that the above ranges are not set in stone. Factors such as road conditions and climate can significantly reduce the amount of time you should go before getting this service done. Luckily, there are things you can watch out for that will let you know it’s time. A few of these are listed below:
