Why is Regular Engine Oil Change Important?

Engine oil is the lifeblood of any vehicle. It ensures smooth engine operations, reduces friction, and prevents overheating. Choosing quality engine oil and changing it regularly protects your vehicle’s longevity, fuel efficiency, and overall performance.

Every six months or every 1,000 miles

Engines work best under ideal conditions. Yet, frequent short trips or demanding environments, like city traffic or humid regions, can quickly reduce oil quality. As the oil deteriorates, its lubricating and heat-absorbing capacities diminish, leading to increased engine wear. Research indicates that in these conditions, oil gathers contaminants more rapidly. Thus, changing oil every six months or 1,000 miles is essential, safeguarding engine efficiency, reducing internal friction, and ensuring a longer engine life.

Every 3,000 miles

Without modern enhancements, classic and older vehicle engines quickly accumulate contaminants. Unlike their modern counterparts, they are more prone to wear from dirt and metal particles, which can damage delicate engine components. Studies highlight the importance of regular oil changes, especially at 3,000 miles, to remove these harmful elements. Given that older engine seals might be less effective, consistent 3,000-mile oil changes provide necessary lubrication, protect against wear, and optimise engine efficiency, ensuring the car’s engine endures longer.

Every 5,000-7,500 miles

Modern vehicles, engineered with precision, use synthetic oil blends that offer extended protection and efficiency. Synthetic oils, designed to withstand breakdown and oxidation, can effectively lubricate and filter contaminants for 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Industry research underscores the importance of this interval for maintaining engine cleanliness and peak efficiency. This oil change schedule allows car owners to best protect their engine’s health while efficiently managing service expenses.

Every six months or every 10,000-15,000 miles

Modern synthetic oils are designed to handle more significant thermal changes, providing long-lasting lubrication, reducing friction, and minimising engine wear. Paired with contemporary engine designs tailored for these oils, today’s vehicles can run up to 15,000 miles between oil changes. This extended period maintains engine health and cuts down service visits, presenting a dual benefit: it safeguards a car’s performance while offering clear financial savings for owners.
