Oil is important to your vehicle’s powertrain as it lubricates the moving components to minimize friction, maximize efficiency, and reduce the risk of damage. So what happens if you don’t change your oil? Well, the engine oil breaks down over time and gets less effective at lubricating — it also picks up debris that can increase friction.
As friction increases, things get hot — hotter than the manufacturer intended — and that’s when the damage starts. Learn more with the Sam Leman Mazda service center below to keep your car running smoothly around Normal.
Motor oil is a lubricant for your engine. More specifically, engine oil has the following important roles in vehicles:
Experts used to tell drivers to have the oil changed every 3,000 miles, but today, drivers can go between 7,500 to 10,000 miles between oil change services. However, you’ll want to be sure to check your owner’s manual for more specific instructions and keep in mind your driving habits. If you drive long distances every day, for instance, you may need an oil change more frequently.
After checking your owners manual to determine what type of oil your vehicle requires, follow these simple steps to change your oil at home:
Now that you know what happens if you don’t get your oil changed, you’ll be better equipped to care for your vehicle.
