Quick Oil Change in Kent, OH

These days, everyone’s trying to get the most out of a dollar, and that means trying to get the maximum number of miles out of their vehicles as well. And just like it was true a generation ago, the single best way to do that is to have your motor oil changed at regular intervals.

Motor oil starts out clean and pure, but over the course of a few months it begins to pick up contaminants like carbon from the combustion process, acids and other chemicals, and microscopic metal particles that are sheared off of moving parts due to friction. Friction is the enemy of every engine, as it generates heat and wears down parts; motor oil provides a film of lubrication that cuts friction and drag and reduces heat buildup. If left too long, though, oil loses its lubricating properties and contaminants will start to accumulate on internal engine assemblies. That’s how dirty motor oil accelerates wear and shortens engine life.

For years, the recommended interval between changes for conventional oil was 3,000 miles – today’s formulations can easily go 5,000 miles between changes. Synthetic motor oil, while more expensive, outperforms conventional oil in all aspects and is now recommended by manufacturers for new cars. Synthetic oil intervals are usually 7,500-10,000 miles or more (check recommendations).
