Anyone who has run out of oil on a lonely country road knows how frustrating and potentially damaging it can be, and in fact missing oil changes when they are due is a common cause of car trouble. Because so many aspects of a vehicle’s engine rely on oil to function properly, not changing your oil can lead to a huge number of different automotive problems. Here, we’ll take a brief look at how you can prevent many car problems by keeping your oil changed regularly, as well as how a regular oil change can save you a significant amount of money
Part of the reason regular oil changes are so important is that some of the most important aspects of a vehicle rely heavily on oil. The engine itself, as well as the transmission (which make up the two most crucial parts of any automobile), need lots of oil to operate, and having an insufficient amount or allowing oil to become too old can cause catastrophic failure in these areas. The reason many people allow this to happen is that they simply do not know when they should get an oil change, especially because different types of oil need to be changed at different times.
The two most common types of oil are natural and synthetic, and each has a few key differences. Synthetic oil tends to last longer and provides slightly better performance, but is significantly more expensive in most cases. Keep in mind that even oils within the same class are different from one another, so carefully reading the description of a product you use and even keeping the packaging so that you can refer back to it (or get the information from the Bruneel mechanic you use) is a good idea. Your mechanic can also help you determine when an oil change will be necessary.
Getting an oil change fairly regularly is one of the best types of preventative maintenance you can do, and even changing your oil slightly before the due date can help prevent a number of car problems. Having your oil changed regularly can keep your car running smoothly and help keep your transmission and engine in good condition.
