If you're in need of Acura service, MotorWorld Acura should be your first stop. Many of us are putting fewer miles on the odometer this year, but just because your car has been sitting on your driveway more than often doesn't mean you can ignore its maintenance needs.
One of the most crucial maintenance items to stay on top of is oil change service.
What Happens If You Don't Change Your Oil?
Your oil has a critical job. It lubricates the engine and all of its parts, protecting the smallest and most delicate components from damage. The engine can get hot and create a lot of heat, but the oil helps it maintain a level temperature.
Over time, the oil stops doing its job as effectively because it starts to break down. Once it becomes more of a sludge than a liquid, it cannot adequately protect your car engine. This can result in the need for costly repairs. The damage to your engine could even shorten the life of your vehicle.
When Do I Need an Oil Change?
Most people know that there are mileage intervals that necessitate an oil change, but time plays a role as well. If your car has been sitting around more and you're not putting as many miles on the odometer, you still need to change that oil.
We recommend an oil change every six months even if you haven't hit the recommended mileage interval. This ensures the oil in your car remains fresh and effective at all times.
