Oil Change

 

Engine oil isn’t expensive, and changing your oil is a quick and easy job. However, plenty of drivers still feel tempted to skip their scheduled Honda oil changes. After all, what can it matter driving a few more weeks before getting your oil changed?

In reality, it can matter a lot. You’ll risk everything from inconvenient breakdowns to the expense that comes with major engine damage, so it’s highly recommended you schedule servicing with our Brockton service center whenever you need to have your oil changed.

To find out more, simply read on for answers to the following questions:

  • Why Does Your Vehicle Need Engine Oil?
  • How Can You Tell the Oil Needs Changing?

Why Does Your Vehicle Need Engine Oil? 

Engine oil has several responsibilities, which is why your vehicle can’t run properly without it. During each drive, engine oil will:

  • Prevent overheating by circulating through your engine and preventing unnecessary friction.
  • Prevent engine gunk forming from contaminants like dirt, dust, and metal particles.
  • Prevent damage by minimizing metal-on-metal contact between your engine’s many moving parts.

How Can You Tell the Oil Needs Changing? 

It should be clear that driving with old engine oil isn’t good for your vehicle, but how do you know when an oil change is necessary? In most cases, oil is going to be changed as part of your scheduled maintenance plan, but common warning signs it needs changing sooner include:

  • Persistent check engine light.
  • Knocking or rumbling sounds from the engine as you drive.
  • Visible exhaust fumes.

If you’re worried, simply wait until your engine has cooled, pop the hood, then draw the dipstick from the oil reservoir. Your oil should appear light amber. If it’s dark, discolored, or dirty, you probably need to have it changed.
