What Old Oil Does To Your Car

There is a lot of heat generated by your engine, and while the parts inside are tough enough to handle the heat, they will eventually wear down. When you do not change the oil regularly, or wait too long, the oil breaks down and does not lubricate as well as it should. Over time this will cause excessive wear on the engine. Old oil can also leak into the cylinders and will make the engine have to work harder. This causes your car to burn the oil. Old oil can also turn to sludge and build up causing the engine to be even more inefficient.

Keep Your Car Young

The longer old oil sits in your engine, the more damage it can cause. Keeping the oil changed keeps a lot of bad things from happening, and helps your car run more efficiently. For older cars changing the oil at the recommended intervals is even more important. For older cars, it may be a good idea to switch to synthetic oil, which is a more efficient lubricant. Our certified technicians use genuine OEM parts in our state of the art facility. They know the correct oil for your car and will make sure it has what it needs. We will also do a complimentary multi-point inspection to make sure your vehicle is in good shape.
