Why Does My Car Need an Oil Change?

Your engine is the heart of your vehicle, and it relies on oil to keep its components clean and lubricated. Regular oil changes help improve your engine's performance. Every time you drive your vehicle, the oil gets dirty, which limits the possibility of friction and debris in the engine. Without oil, your vehicle will experience excess heat and pressure, which could harm the engine’s lifespan and cause a deterioration of fuel efficiency.

When Should I Get An Oil Change?

New motor oil is a golden hue, but the oil cleans the engine as you drive, causing it to turn dark brown/black. When the oil gets dark, it loses its ability to keep the engine clean and lubricated, helping it run smoothly. There are three main types of oil:

  • Synthetic – Used primarily on high-performance and newer models, synthetic oil often lasts longer.
  • Semi-Synthetic – It has many synthetic oil qualities but a lower price tag.
  • Conventional – Traditional oil is recommended for older vehicles.

If your vehicle uses synthetic oil, you bring it in for an oil change 6,000 miles. You should schedule an oil change every 5,000 miles for semi-synthetic oil. For conventional oil, schedule an oil change every 3,000 miles.

In addition to the oil change intervals in your owner’s manual, you should schedule an oil change whenever you notice any of the signs listed below.

  • The oil warning lights appear.
  • Your fuel efficiency decreases.
  • You hear a knocking sound under the hood.
  • You smell a burning smell.
  • You notice unusual vibrations.
