Why Do I Need to Change My Oil Every 5,000 to 10,000 Miles?

Your engine is composed of hundreds of metal parts, many of which move at high speeds and create friction while you drive. Motor oil helps lubricate these important components while reducing the heat caused by friction. Oil also helps remove any corrosive elements like water or dirt that find their way inside.

Over time, your vehicle’s oil will start to lose its efficacy. If not regularly changed, your oil will start to transform into a heavy, dark sludge. This sludge can end up leading to several issues, including:

• Poor fuel efficiency
• Weak acceleration
• Overheating
• Worn or broken parts
• Engine seizure

Fortunately, by working with our friendly service pros, you can keep your vehicle safe and running at its best.

Can I Check My Oil from Home?

The short and simple answer is yes! Our technicians encourage you to periodically check your vehicle’s oil between service appointments.

How to Check Your Oil

Find a level spot to park your vehicle and pop the hood. If you need help locating your engine’s oil stick, refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual or simply call our service center during business hours.

Using a shop rag or paper towel, remove the dipstick from its holster. Healthy oil should appear translucent or have an amber color. If the oil appears thick or has an intense burning smell, immediately schedule a service appointment.

Wipe the stick clean before returning it to its holster. Remove the stick again, and this time, take note of the oil level. Towards the bottom of the dipstick, you’ll notice a few markings. If your oil falls below these marks, you might need to add a quart or two.
