When it comes to automotive maintenance, the benefits of changing your oil on time are numerous. Regular oil changes improve your engine’s performance, extend its longevity, and help your car achieve its peak gas mileage. Clean oil is essential for keeping the engine and all the engine controls properly lubricated and running smoothly.
The primary role of motor oil is to lubricate the insides of your engine to prevent abnormal wear and tear. Without regular oil changes, friction builds up between the engine’s many moving parts.
In addition, today’s cars with engine controls influence the engine’s gas mileage, emissions, and overall efficiency. Oil and oil pressure power these engine controls. When your oil level gets too low, or becomes dirty, these controls can’t perform their core functions.
Whether you’re getting your oil changed by a mechanic or doing it yourself, it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when selecting the type of oil. In some vehicles, you’ll find a sticker under the hood that lists the oil best suited for your engine. Or you can always consult your owner’s manual. There’s a wide range of motor oils on the market, which differ based on weight and viscosity (or thickness) levels.
Synthetic: Many high-performance vehicles require this more expensive, chemically enhanced oil to last longer, run cleaner, and maintain viscosity.
Semi-synthetic: As the name suggests, this oil features many of the enhanced properties of synthetic oil but at a lower price than top-end products.
Conventional: This is the traditional, old-school oil used for decades, and manufacturers recommend it for older cars.
Synthetic: Every six months or 6,000 miles
Semi-synthetic: Every five months or 5,000 miles
Conventional: Every three months or 3,000 miles
You can check your oil levels without a mechanic if you feel comfortable. Many newer cars feature dashboard symbols and sensors that alert you when it’s time to change your oil.
