Regular Oil Changes Keep Your Car in Top Shape
Getting an oil change for your vehicle is one of the single most important things you can do for your vehicle. Staying on top of it is the difference between a vehicle running horrible after five years and a vehicle running like new after ten years.
Think about how human bodies rely on water. It lubricates us, keeps us cool internally and externally, and carries nutrients to the body and toxins out of the body.
The main part of your engine is comprised of several cylinders with pistons in them. Tiny explosions are created inside these cylinders making the pistons go up and down at thousands of times per minute. The only thing stopping your pistons from wearing down these cylinder walls is motor oil. You can imagine how tough the oil has to work eliminating metal on metal contact as much as possible.
Can you imagine that heat caused by the pistons going up and down and all those explosions. Its massive! If not for the motor oil in your car than your engine would quickly overheat and blow several gaskets in several seconds. Motor oil is specifically designed to hold and transfer heat inside your engine.
Oil cleans your engine massively. Exploding gasoline or diesel creates a lot of "blow by" and these particles can really harm your engine. Oil traps a lot of this, as well as any other sludge, and takes them to the oil filter to be cleaned out. Without oil, or enough of it, your engine "gunks" up rather quickly.
There really is no reason for not staying on top of your oil changes in our modern day. Your motor oil takes a beating with all the duties its expected to perform and needs to be replaced on a regular basis. You can try to change the oil yourself but this can be quite challenging in newer vehicles without the right tools and you still have to dispose of the waste oil. In every town or city there is a quick lube not too far away from anyone eliminating any excuses for not getting an oil change when it comes time.
A typical oil change will cost about $30-$40. You can get cheaper oil changes but I tend to avoid those places because the service is bad as they hire less than qualified people and their goal is often to bait you in their shop and find everything in the book wrong with your car resulting in a $400 or more bill. In some places you can even check and see if there is a mobile oil change service available. This makes getting an oil change even easier than waiting at a quick lube for twenty to thirty minutes during your lunch break, after work, or on the weekends.
Stay on top of your oil changes. It will keep your vehicle running like new. Motor oil is the lifeblood of any engine and far too many people go thousands of miles past their vehicle's proper interval. Its best to go 3,000 miles for any gas engine and 5,000 for diesels. Doing this will make sure you get a lot of good years out of your very expensive investment. - 21392
