The Importance of Oil Changes

Having your oil changed on a regular basis is one of the most important things you can do to keep your car in proper running order. There is no better way to keep your car in top performance and have it run for hundreds of thousands of miles than to keep your oil changed whenever it is recommended by the car manufacturer. By getting your oil changed on a regular basis, you will not only improve the life of your cars engine, but you will also allow your car to maximize the horsepower it puts on the road; and you can make sure that all of your cylinders are firing and working as properly as when the car was new. 

Not getting your oil changed can only mean trouble for your vehicle. Significant problems can arise if you do not change your oil when it is recommended to do so. Not changing your oil often enough can cause significant damage to your engine, as the oil is necessary to keep all of the moving parts lubricated. By not having enough oil or by using oil that has outlived its usefulness (is filled with dirt or has low viscosity), you run the risk of allowing parts to not work as efficiently as they possibly could. In the long run, such parts grinding together without lubrication in such a stressful environment as an internal combustion engine could eventually lead to such parts fusing together, jamming up or altogether failing. This is catastrophic to your engine, as the engine could simply stop working or actually explode if enough parts refuse to work.

While some car owners have the ability and time to do the oil change themselves, it is more common for consumers to bring their vehicle into the shop and have a professional do it. In some ways it makes more sense to have a professional do the oil change, as they have special ways in which they are able to dispose of the used oil. If you do the change yourself, it is important to dispose of old oil properly. You will have to save all of the oil which you remove from the car and take it to a place like your local fire station to have professionals dispose of it, instead of simply taking it to the dump or pouring it down the drain. Since there are so many hassles involved in changing the oil yourself, you may want to simply have professionals do it. Regardless of which route you choose, the bottom line is to follow your owner's manual and get your vehicle's oil changed at regular intervals.
