22% of vehicles on the road have low or dirty engine oil. Proactively changing a vehicles’ oil and filter will help the engine continue to work at its best and prevent costly repairs to drivers down the road.
MAINTAINING ENGINE LUBRICATION
Imagine all the moving parts, pistons, valves, and other engine parts moving at high rates of speed under the hood of a vehicle. These components create heat and will wear down the engine dramatically without proper oil lubrication.
COOLS ENGINE COMPONENTS
Moving parts that lack proper lubrication create friction, which in turn creates heat. Maintaining clean and sufficient amounts of oil is the perfect solution to prevent too much friction and overheating of the engine.
REMOVES ENGINE WEAR PARTICLES AND SLUDGE
Dirt particles are deadly to engines. Over time, dirt can cause corrosion and decrease the life of an engine. As time goes on, oil breaks down and turns to “sludge.” The goal is to keep the engine clean. Routine oil and filter changes help remove particles and sludge and keep engines at peak condition.
IMPROVES GAS MILEAGE
Poor engine lubrication can lead to increased fuel consumption, so make sure there is enough clean oil in the engine. With routine changes and with the right kind of oil, gas mileage can improve over time by 1-2%. That doesn’t sound like much of an improvement, but for the average car, it leads to savings of an entire gallon of gas for a year!
PROMOTES VEHICLE LONGEVITY
Routine maintenance makes your vehicle last longer. Buildup from dirty and oil can rob a vehicle’s fuel economy and power and makes internal components work harder. Engine’s that work too hard will end up having more problems down the road as well as a shorter life span.
