Oil, Lube & Filter Changes: Keeping Your Engine Clean
The key to maintaining engine longevity is simple: frequent oil changes. The oil, along with the filter, should be changed regularly for maximum engine performance.
The role of oil in a car’s engine is to protect internal parts and provide lubrication against wear. Because the oil is continually circulating throughout the engine, however, over time it breaks down and accumulates substances such as dust, metallic shavings, condensation, and even antifreeze that can damage internal engine parts.
The oil filter works to trap and remove debris and other contaminants. When the oil filter becomes saturated, the oil is no longer “cleaned” and the risks posed by contaminants intensify. Oil pressure can also suffer once the filter becomes clogged. As a result, fuel economy decreases and the risk of emissions increases along with the potential for engine failure.
Always be sure your oil, lube & filter changes include
- Changing oil filter
- Checking air filter
- Checking and top off all fluids
- Lubricating all fittings
- Checking engine for leaks
- Checking belts and hoses
- Checking tire pressure
- Checking entire undercarriage
