It happens to the best of us. You were on schedule with your oil change and then life got in the way. Now it’s been a little longer than you’d like to admit since your car had its oil changed. While you may be thinking that your car can last “just a little bit longer” while driving in Aurora, the truth is your car is already feeling the effects of cycling old oil. Read about what may be happening to your engine below from the service experts at Valley Honda!
Most drivers in Chicago know that the oil in your car primarily acts as a lubricant to keep the internal parts moving smoothly. When you neglect your vehicle’s oil change schedule, the oil (and your engine) will begin to degrade. Dirt and debris can build up in your engine, which can damage the small, internal parts. After a while, the oil will become thick with debris and lose its lubricating properties. Without lubricant, your engine’s parts will begin to weld together, making the engine inoperable.
The schedule for changing your oil is different for each car and dependent on the driving habits of drivers in Naperville. Typically it’s recommended that you change your oil every six months or every 7,000 miles. Consult your owner’s manual for specific instructions.
