Why is an oil change important?

An oil change is a very important regular service to have done to your vehicle. There are 2 main types of oil that your vehicle can take, conventional or synthetic. Our technicians know which oil is best for your vehicle based on the make and model of your car. Now, why is an oil change important? Well there are a number of reasons. One being that the oil can turn to a sludge substance. This is very bad to be running through your engine because it will decrease the life of your engine. Probably the most important is that your vehicle needs oil to keep a lot of the components in your engine working properly.

Here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center, we recommend that if your vehicle takes conventional oil that you come in for an oil change every 3,000 miles or 3 months. And for a synthetic oil change, we recommend it should be done every 5,000 miles or 6 months.
