What Does Oil Do

Your car needs oil like your body needs water. If you go for a run without drinking enough water first, you’re going to have a much more difficult workout thanks dehydration. The same is true when it comes to automobiles and oil.

Oil is what keeps the mechanical parts running effectively. Its lubricates all the moving parts so that they can function properly and without causing problems. Much like water does for our muscles, it also keeps parts from overheating.

Why Does My Car Need New Oil

Over time oil starts to break down. It stops effectively lubricating and cooling parts, and even changes color as it gets old. The once clear, golden lifeblood of your engine eventually turns into a thick, black, dirty sludge.

Continuing to drive with old oil puts your engine at greater risk of overheating, break downs, and mechanical problems.

When To Change Your Oil

Fortunately, your car gives you several signs that it needs new oil. The easiest one to notice is to simply pay attention to your mileage. It’s recommended that you get your oil changed every 3,000 – 6,000 miles.

Some other signs that your car could use an oil change are:

  • Your engine sounds louder than usual
  • An oil icon or Check Engine light comes up on your dashboard
  • You check your engine’s dipstick and the oil is low or turned to sludge
