Importance of Oil Changes
Brought to you by Cerritos Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
The oil in your car’s engine is its lifeblood. You undoubtedly know that it needs to be changed often but few people know why. Is it just because it gets dirty? And why is that so bad? The folks at Cerritos Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram are automotive experts and they have answers to these questions. Not only can they explain the benefits of frequent oil changes, they also have an Express Lane Service to make it easy to have your engine oil changed in your car or truck. Here are a few common questions they hear:
What does engine oil actually do?
You undoubtedly know that engines are filled with lots of moving metal parts. In order to prevent excessive wear and tear occurring, oil inside the engine is pumped onto all the parts that slide against each other. This is a critical lubrication function that engine oil performs.
The other function of engine oil, believe it or not, is to function as an engine coolant. Some parts of the engine, like the cylinder walls, get very hot and the engine oil absorbs that heat and distributes it to cooler areas.
How often should engine oil be changed?
The standard oil change interval has been “every 3000 miles” for decades. However, today’s oils are much better than they were years ago so oil change intervals are longer now. For your particular car, the folks at Cerritos Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram suggest sticking with the manufacturer’s recommendations. These can be found in your vehicle's owner’s manual. And, of course, the folks at Cerritos can advise you, in addition.
