One of the best things you can do for your vehicle is to keep it running on the proper amount of clean oil. Check your vehicle manual for the proper guidelines but generally conventional oil should be changed every 4 800km and synthetic oil should be changed every 12 000km. Below are 6 reasons to keep up with oil change.
1
Proper Lubrication
Sufficient lubrication prevents metal on metal contact from causing significant engine trouble.
2
Eliminate Engine Gunk
Contaminants give engine oil a muddy consistency. They can be removed when you drain the engine oil. Fuel mileage and power can be increased when you remove engine gunk.
3
New Oil Filter
A clogged oil filter prevents oil from sufficiently flowing through the engine. This can lead to friction which can cause major problems.
4
Restore Engine Power
Clean oil enables the vehicle to produce an optimal amount of power. This optimises fuel efficiency and allows the vehicle to move forward more easily.
5
Identification of Emerging Issues
During the oil change other issues can be identified and sorted out before they become major issues.
6
Regulate Engine Temperature
The correct level of clean oil can help your engine maintain optimal temperature.
