Changing your car’s oil is essential for maintaining your engine’s health and performance. Fresh oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and helps dissipate heat, preventing damage and extending the engine’s lifespan. Over time, oil breaks down, becomes contaminated with debris, and loses its ability to effectively perform these functions.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Lubrication:
Engine oil acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between moving parts like pistons, crankshaft, and camshafts. Without proper lubrication, these parts would experience excessive wear and tear, potentially leading to costly repairs or even engine failure.
Cooling:
The oil also helps to cool down engine components by absorbing and dissipating heat. As oil ages, its ability to cool the engine decreases, potentially leading to overheating.
Cleaning:
Engine oil helps to remove contaminants like dirt, debris, and metal shavings from the engine. These contaminants can build up over time and cause damage if not removed with regular oil changes.
Extending Engine Life:
By ensuring proper lubrication, cooling, and cleaning, regular oil changes help to extend the overall lifespan of your engine.
Improved Fuel Efficiency:
When the engine is running smoothly and efficiently, it can lead to better gas mileage
