Why Oil Changes Are So Important

Plenty of San Francisco drivers underestimate the importance of engine oil. It might be a relatively inexpensive fluid, but your engine can’t run properly without it. During each drive, your oil will be:

  • Collecting contaminants to prevent clogs and blockages.
  • Providing lubrication to prevent metal-on-metal contact.
  • Cooling your engine to prevent overheating.
  • Circulating small amounts of cleaning agents to prevent corrosion.

However, even the best oil will start to break down and become too contaminated over time. That’s why oil changes are recommended at regular intervals.

How You Can Tell an Oil Change is Needed

Most vehicles will need their oil changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but yours may require a change sooner than expected. Common warning signs include:

  • Smell of Oil in Your Vehicle’s Cabin
  • Active Check Engine
  • Active Change Oil Light
  • Decreased Fuel Efficiency
  • Rumbling/Knocking Sounds from the Engine
  • Visible Fumes from Your Vehicle’s Exhaust

If you’re worried, you can always check the oil yourself. Let your engine cool, then open the hood and remove the dipstick from the oil reservoir. If the oil covering it isn’t a clear amber, you should schedule servicing to arrange an oil change.
