AFFORDABLE OIL CHANGES FOR BUFFALO, NY

Maintenance comes with car ownership. You take care of your car, and it takes care of you. The engine is what powers your entire vehicle. It generates the power that moves your wheels and charges your battery. Engines are mechanical systems that are comprised of many metal parts that produce a lot of heat from the combustion of fuel and friction. Engine oil is used to keep the parts in your engine lubricated and provide a cooling effect. This helps to prevent it from overheating. It also picks up dirt and debris from your engine and filters it through the oil filter, protecting your engine from damage. 

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED AN OIL CHANGE?

Oil does not last forever. The additives in it break down over time and it also gets dirty. Not changing your oil frequently enough will cause your engine to stop working. You need to change your engine oil regularly to ensure smooth operation for the engine. So, how often should you do this? Today, oil has improved from old versions of engine oil which makes it possible to change your oil less frequently than before. A general rule of thumb is that you should get an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
