Why Should I Change My Car's Oil?
So why is it so important to change your car's oil? There are many reasons! Our team has highlighted a few of the key benefits you'll see when changing your car's oil.
Regulates Temperature
Clean oil is designed to absorb heat that is emitted from your car's engine. When your oil gets dirty, it can't soak up excess heat, causing your engine's temperature to increase.
Cleans Out Your Engine
When your oil circulates, it picks up dust, dirt, and other particles that affect your engine's performance. As the particles build-up, it forms sludge and can cause problems to your motor.
Lubricates Engine
Clean and fresh oil helps minimize friction between moving parts, enhancing your engine's performance. When metal rubs up on other parts, you will notice the parts don't last as long, and your engine may experience damage.
How Often Should You Change Your Oil?
Generally speaking, you should look into changing your car's oil around every six months. Newer cars can last longer between each oil change, and it's recommended to change its oil between every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. With older vehicles, the recommended mileage is every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Our service department at Vancouver Toyota will be able to assess how often you should schedule an oil change.
