Oil...Why should I change the oil in my car?
Some say, "Oil is the life blood" of your car.
Your cars motor has many internal moving parts. It's theseparts that are lubricated by the motor oil in your car. Often the distance fromone moving motor part and another moving part is infinitely small and there isjust a thin film of oil protecting these parts.
When a motor oil is dirty or low from lack of attention,this thin film of protection can break down and that means your motor could breakdown as well.
Regular Oil Changes will keep engine parts protected and canhelp prevent motor failures.
In addition to changing the oil, the oil filter must be changed as well. With today's new cars this often involves removing a protective cover called a skid pan or skid plate.
Having the proper tools ensures the job is done right
A good first step for any car or truck owner is to read his or hers’ owner's manual. It will give you a guideline to help you understand what your mechanic already knows. Mainly, proper intervals for oil changes on your vehicle. Proper replacement points for wear parts on your motor and car's body. Such things as timing belt replacement, tire rotation and replacement.
Proper tire inflation will reduce premature wear and canoptimize gas mileage
As you would expect a good mechanic will notice unusual wear or faulty parts and can alert you to them and perhaps avoid an expensive repair.
