5 Reasons to Change Your Oil Regularly
There are many reasons why changing your oil regularly can affect the performance, efficiency, and reliability of your vehicle. Below are the top 5 reasons discovered by Nissan Canada.
Reduces Engine Wear and Corrosion
New oil will have more effective lubrication properties and will help to keep the most important components of your engine running smoothly. As oil ages, these properties lessen and could result in damage to your engine.
Helps Cool Engine Components
The reason why engine oil becomes dark is due to the extreme heat it experiences under combustion. Having newer oil will help to absorb the heat from the engine, which will keep the components cooler.
Protects Against Engine Wear Particles and Sludge
Engine oil also acts as a remover of microparticles that make their way into the engine or are produced by it. Over time oil may also become like a sludge, which will cause issues internally. Thus an oil change will provide clean oil, and when the old oil is removed, all the particles and sludge will be removed as well
Meets or Exceeds Industry Specifications
Automotive engineers from the inception of the automobile have always recommended oil as a lubricant and have stressed the idea of regular oil changes to meet the engine's specifications. Please contact us to learn more about oil changes.
