Timely Oil Changes Are Key to Any Engine

By Wesley Draperton

Getting an oil change for your vehicle is one of the single most important things you can do for your vehicle. Staying on top of it is the difference between a vehicle running horrible after five years and a vehicle running like new after ten years.

Your average motor oil does a lot for a vehicle. They serve the same purpose as water does for the human body. It lubricates, regulates temperature, and cleans and suspends all the bad stuff that you do not want floating around your engine.

The same goes for motor oil. Your engine is comprised of different metal components going up and down at thousands of rates per minute due to internal mini explosions. Oil lubricates these metal pieces so that they do not wear out.

Thousands of explosions and constant shearing create a lot of heat inside your engine. So much that if it were not for motor oil your engine would quickly get past several hundred degrees and blow up. A vehicle's motor oil is designed to absorb a lot of that heat and with the help of antifreeze keep your vehicle bellow 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

A huge service that motor oil does for your car is suspending sludge and and metal shavings that are in your engine. A lot of grime builds us in your engine and oil cleans and carries the grime out of your engine and to your filter.

There really is no reason for not staying on top of your oil changes in our modern day. Your motor oil takes a beating with all the duties its expected to perform and needs to be replaced on a regular basis. You can try to change the oil yourself but this can be quite challenging in newer vehicles without the right tools and you still have to dispose of the waste oil. In every town or city there is a quick lube not too far away from anyone eliminating any excuses for not getting an oil change when it comes time.

There may even be a mobile oil change service available where you live. Most people do not know about them but they are becoming quite popular in certain areas. All you have to do is call them up and make an appointment. You can be at your office and have the service done. You will really do yourself a favor staying away from the cheapest oil changes you can find. Oftentimes those bottom of the barrel prices are just to bait you in and customers end up leaving with a several hundred dollar repair bill.

Stay on top of your oil changes. It will keep your vehicle running like new. Motor oil is the lifeblood of any engine and far too many people go thousands of miles past their vehicle's proper interval. Its best to go 3,000 miles for any gas engine and 5,000 for diesels. Doing this will make sure you get a lot of good years out of your very expensive investment. - 21396
