Each make and model of car might have a different manufacturer’s recommendation for oil changes. But the goal is the same: the oil in your vehicle lubricates the engine and absorbs heat, allowing the internal parts to work together effectively without overheating. Over time, engine oil breaks down and wears out and doesn’t do the job effectively. That’s the time for an oil change. The longer you wait after the recommended period, the greater the risk of damage, undue wear and tear, and breakdowns.
So, every time you get an oil change, you are ultimately extending the life of your car, truck, or van.
As critical as this is, though, it isn’t the only point of an oil change. An oil change also provides the opportunity for a trained mechanic to look over your vehicle and spot any thing else that might need attention.
At Bob Hope’s Auto Repair, every oil change comes with bonuses:
- Oil filter replacement
- Tire pressure and tread depth check
- Vehicle inspection (lights, blinkers, fluids, windshield wipers, etc.)
So, an oil change adds up to a form of preventive maintenance. This regular review by a trained set of eyes could save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Noticing something small, like odd wear on tires or a slow leak in your transmission fluid, and taking steps to fix the problem immediately, can be the difference between a minor repair today and a catastrophic breakdown in the future.
