Learn More About Oil Changes At Alan Jay Ford

The oil change light has appeared on your dashboard. What do you do? Does the oil change need to happen immediately? Why is an oil change so important? Allow our Alan Jay Ford team to answer all of your oil change questions.

Why are Oil Changes So Important?

The oil in your car's engine has three main jobs: lubrication, cleaning, and cooling. As it performs these tasks, it begins to break down with use. Over time, the oil will become too thin or sludgy, which will cause larger engine damage if left unchanged. To keep your engine running strong, make sure you're scheduling routine oil and filter changes.

When is it Time to Have My Car's Oil Changed?

Most modern vehicles will alert you when it's time to have the oil changed. Depending on how you drive and where you drive, you may need to change your oil more often than other vehicles. Typically, an oil change should be done every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or at least once a year.
