Quality Oil Changes: Key to Increased Performance!

With the price of vehicles rising each year, you want to take care of your current vehicle, which includes quality oil changes.  Skimping on oil changes might find you spending more time and money in an auto repair shop.  Regular oil change intervals, plus the use of high-quality oil, are major factors in how your vehicle performs, possibly increasing its lifespan to 200,000 miles or more!

An engine has two big enemies—heat and friction! Regular oil changes guard against the damage that heat and friction causes, lubricating moving parts and increasing engine.  

To help preserve your vehicle’s engine for increased performance and longevity, here are some basic facts to know about oil changes:

1. The right weight – Typically, a 5W-30 performs better in colder climates, 10W-40 for warmer climates. Knowing the difference can help the overall performance of your engine.
2. Manufacturer's Recommendations – Be sure to use the oil recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer.  Using the wrong type could void the manufacturer’s warranty.
3. Consider Synthetic Oil - It will cost a little more at each oil change, but will eventually pay off with increased savings.  Synthetic provides better protection, increased oil change intervals, greater resistance to breakdowns, improved cold weather starts, and increased fuel mileage.  Some vehicles can go as much as 10,000 to 15,000 miles between oil changes while using synthetic oil.  In contrast, petroleum motor oils provide adequate protection, but are prone to breakdown, sludge, and a required oil change every 3,000 miles.
4. Clean oil - Follow the oil change recommendations for your vehicle, and keep a record of it. During normal operation, engines produce metal fragments harmful to the engine. Routine oil changes help to "flush" out any fragments and keep the oil clean.
5. Quality filter – Don’t skimp on the filer.  A quality filter is worth the extra cost for the added protection.
