The Importance of an Oil Change Service for Your Vehicle

Do you know what the most important routine vehicle maintenance is? You guessed right. It is changing your vehicle’s oil. Regularly changing your vehicle’s oil is a key factor in keeping your vehicle running properly for years to come and getting your oil changed at any Coughlin Cars location in central Ohio is a quick and easy service. Let’s look into some of the reasons you should regularly change your oil.

1. Regular Oil Change Services = A Healthy Vehicle
   1. Build-up from dirty oil makes your vehicle’s engine work harder. An engine that is working harder will result in more issues than needed. This means that your engine will not last as long as it should. We should also note that a vehicle that is regularly maintained will have a higher trade-in value when you visit Coughlin Cars for your next vehicle.
2. Regular Oil Changes Result in Better Gas Mileage
   1. When searching for a new vehicle, we all look for a vehicle with superb gas mileage. Did you know that if your engine’s lubrication is poor – it will lead to lower gas mileage? The U.S. Department of Energy stated that gas mileage is improved overtime with routine, proper oil changes.
3. Having a Quick Oil Change Will Keep your Engine Clean
   1. When oil flows into the engine; dust, dirt and other particles start to accumulate in the oil. If you are regularly changing your oil, the particles do not have time to build up to form unwanted sludge in your engine. With a quick oil change, you will remove these particles from your vehicle before they are able to cause harm to your engine.
4. Keeping your Engine’s Parts and Components Cool
   1. Without the proper oil and lubrication, your engine’s parts will start to create friction. The more friction there is will lead to more heat. It is also important to note that if you let your oil become contaminated with dust and debris, the engine’s components will become covered in sludge which leads to the heat staying in the components for a longer period of time. By having clean oil in your vehicle, the parts will have less friction. This means there is less of a chance of your engine over-heating.
5. Clean Oil Maintains Engine Lubrication
   1. There are countless moving parts under the hood of your vehicle that are moving at quick speeds. Without the proper lubrication, from clean oil, these parts will create more heat and, in return, break down. Having the correct and clean oil is a crucial step in making these components and parts run properly.
