It is important to never skip out on an oil change!
The oil in your vehicle keeps your engine running smoothly. Having routine oil changes is very important to the longevity and life of your engine.
Did you know that over time, oil can turn into sludge? This sludge can clog up oil passages and restrict your engine from getting oil, which can prematurely wear out internal components of your engine. The detergents and additives in the oil (which help clean your engine) break down over time as well.
While the manufacturers all have different recommendations based on mileage, here at Jerry Noonan's Auto Center we recommend 3000 miles/3 months for conventional oil, and 5000 miles/6 months for synthetic oil. At these intervals, we have seen the best results for keeping engine oil clean and efficient.
Even if you don't drive too much, or only take short trips that don't really add on any mileage, it is just as important to get an oil change on time. The more the oil sits in a vehicle, especially when it isn't constantly being used, the faster is can break down and become sludge.
Oil is like the lifeline of your vehicle. So it is very important to always keep on a schedule for your oil changes.
