Why Regular Oil Changes?
When you
think about what supplies life to your car, what do you think of first? For
most New Jersey drivers, it's the engine. Moreover, what keeps the engine going
strong? Oil. Keeping the oil supply in your vehicle fresh is what encourages
healthy lubrication between all the moving parts under your car's hood. Every
second you spend driving, your engine is warming up and working hard. As it
runs, the oil is continuously collecting dirt particles that over time change
it from a liquid state into more of a sludge mixture.
To keep
your car running smoothly for the long run, you'll need to replace that
sludge-like mix with new oil. If you procrastinate on getting an oil change for
too long, you're inviting the collection of particles filling your engine to
slow down performance and prevent your car from achieving its potential fuel
economy for city and highway travels near Plainfield.
How Often
Should You Get an Oil Change?
Every time
your car receives an oil change, your engine repeats this cycle of going from a
liquid state into a slower, sludge-like state. This cycle is why it's critical
for New Jersey drivers to stick to a strict schedule of receiving an oil change
every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Depending on the vehicle you drive and the amount
of mileage you sustain, you can find out specifics about your car's oil-change
frequency by consulting your owner's manual or speaking with the Liccardi
Mitsubishi service team that serves North Plainfield, NJ.
