How Essential Is an Oil Change Service for Your Vehicle?  

Oil change service is an essential part of regular vehicle maintenance. The oil in a vehicle lubricates the engine’s moving parts, keeping them from grinding against each other and wearing out prematurely. At Route 6 Auto Mall Kia in Swansea, MA, we list out why it is important to regularly schedule an oil change service for your vehicle. Read on to learn more.

Benefits of Changing Your Engine Oil  

Over time, the oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt and debris, which can cause it to lose its effectiveness. Hence, replacing the existing engine oil with fresh, clean oil is advised. During an oil change service, the oil filter is also typically replaced to ensure the engine receives clean oil free from contaminants.  

Here are some reasons why regular oil changes are essential:  

Keeps the engine running smoothly  

Regular oil changes keep the engine’s moving parts lubricated, reducing friction and heat, which can help to prevent costly engine repairs.

Improves fuel efficiency  

Clean oil can help improve the vehicle’s fuel efficiency, as the engine doesn’t have to work as hard to move the car.  

Extends the engine’s lifespan  

Regular oil changes can extend the engine’s life by keeping it clean and reducing wear on the moving parts.  

Maintains the manufacturer’s warranty  

Many manufacturers require regular oil changes as part of their warranty terms. Failure to maintain the vehicle according to the manufacturer’s guidelines can void the warranty.  

Promotes safer driving  

A well-maintained engine is less likely to break down or fail while on the road, which can reduce the risk of accidents or breakdowns in dangerous situations.
