There are no small things regarding responsible car care. Getting your vehicle's oil and oil filter changed at the time recommended in the owner's manual might not seem like much, but doing so will help keep your car running better for longer. GoAuto can accommodate requests for oil change appointments for Lancaster, PA area customers. Check your owner's manual to see if you are nearing the mileage and age point where an oil change is necessary.
Oil Age and Viscosity
Viscosity refers to the ability of oil to flow freely inside an engine. Older motor oil often lacks suitable viscosity - another reason to change the oil on time. Fresh oil that maintains its green color will circulate through the various engine components and keep the parts lubricated. Lubricated parts will be less prone to suffering friction-related wear and tear.
Also, old engine oil can result in a sludge buildup that can cause problems for the engine. Thankfully, a thorough engine cleaning can remove sludge but keeping it out of the engine in the first place is best. Changing the oil filter with the motor oil further reduces the potential for impurities to build up.
Other Points about Fresh Engine Oil
When you drive your car around Lancaster County or to nearby York, PA, you likely want it to be an enjoyable experience. Noise can undermine your goal of having a quiet drive on the weekend. A dirty engine circulating old engine oil could become excessively noisy. Who wants to hear a rough engine during their commutes? If you change the oil, the problem might go away. If not, having the engine checked seems advisable.
The decrease in friction extends beyond preserving engine parts. Excessive friction also causes greater fuel consumption, meaning you'll frequently visit the gas station when driving on old engine fluid. Ownership costs will chip away at bank accounts and may do so unnecessarily. Changing your car, truck, or SUV's oil on or ahead of schedule might keep more money in your pocket and less emissions in the air.
An additional point about emissions bears mentioning. Although a vehicle might have an advanced emissions control system built into it, dirty oil might undermine performance. Ultimately, there are many upsides to changing the oil when the service comes due.
Checking for Leaks
When you bring your vehicle to our Lancaster, PA area dealership, the appointment allows a technician to inspect the engine and other parts. The technician could uncover an oil leak that requires immediate fixing. Be aware that an oil leak may result in devastating damage to the engine.
A thorough examination might uncover serious problems. The oil pan could require replacement, and other issues may need addressing.
Choosing the Right Oil
The technician can recommend specific oil for your vehicle. The oil could be appropriate for seasonal changes, such as using oil designed for higher temperatures during the summer. High-mileage oil is also worth considering when you drive an older car.
