Signs It's Time for an Oil Change
A few signs can tell you when your vehicle may need an oil change. One important sign is the dashboard oil warning light. When this light comes on, it informs you that your oil is low or dirty and that it's time for an oil change.
As you drive, you may notice engine noises, such as knocking or grinding. This can indicate that there is not enough oil to lubricate the engine parts properly, causing them to knock together. This can lead to long-term damage, if not addressed.
When it's time to change the oil, it will become dark and contain visible debris. You can check your vehicle's oil by taking a look at the dipstick under the hood.
You may also notice exhaust smoke as you drive. This can be due to an oil leak, which would need to be repaired.
Benefits of an Oil Change
Regular oil changes provide several benefits for a vehicle. In order to function properly, a vehicle requires routine oil changes, which provide clean, new oil for the engine.
Oil has two functions inside an engine-to keep it cool and to keep the parts lubricated. Lubricated parts function smoothly and don't generate excess heat as they work. Your vehicle's engine can stay at an ideal temperature when it has clean oil.
As oil circulates, it collects the debris that ends up in your engine as you drive. Eventually, the oil will have too much debris to continue to pick up new dirt. Changing the oil regularly keeps the engine clean.
