Maintaining Your Vehicle: The Importance of Regular Oil Changes

Apr 4, 2023

If you own a vehicle and it’s time for an oil change, you should take your car to any of our Passport Auto service centers. Certain vehicles require a specific type of oil, and the service center will use the correct type and amount of oil for your particular model.

Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your vehicle. Oil plays a crucial role in keeping your engine running smoothly by lubricating the moving parts, reducing friction and heat, and preventing the buildup of harmful contaminants.

Over time, however, oil can become dirty and less effective at performing its essential functions. If not changed regularly, dirty oil can lead to increased engine wear and tear, reduced fuel efficiency, and even engine damage.

By getting regular oil changes, you can ensure that your engine stays in top condition and continues to perform at its best. Changing your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles is generally recommended, depending on your driving habits and the type of oil you use.

In summary, regular oil changes are an essential part of vehicle maintenance that can help prevent costly engine damage and keep your car running smoothly for years to come.
