Getting the oil changed in your car or truck is one of the most important types of routine maintenance. Regular oil changes are critical for the health of your engine.
The oil in your engine serves several vital functions:
- Lubricates moving parts to minimize friction and wear
- Helps cool the engine by drawing heat away from components
- Traps and holds contaminants and combustion byproducts
Over time, engine oil breaks down and becomes saturated with contaminants. Continuing to run an engine with old, dirty oil can lead to:
- Accelerated wear and tear on engine components
- Reduced engine performance and fuel economy
- Sludge and deposit buildup that can cause serious engine damage
The bottom line - skipping oil changes is never worth the risk. Bring your car to a trusted service center like LeMond Chevrolet for an oil change. Your engine will thank you!
