Lube, Oil & Filter Change

Lube, Oil & Filter Change Description

Preventative maintenance is key to extending the life of your vehicle’s engine. One of the most important of those is an oil change and filter replacement. Doing this helps to keep your vehicle operating at maximum performance. Oil plays a crucial role in lubricating the internal components of the vehicle’s engine. This helps to reduce the amount of friction between components which helps extend their life. It also helps to cut down on heat buildup during normal engine operation. Oil also helps to absorb damaging contaminants which are a result of the combustion process. The oil passes through an oil pump which ensures proper circulation to the oil filter which filters out harmful particles before passing it back through the engine. An oil change drains the used oil from the engine before replacing it with new. The oil filter is removed and replaced with a new one. It is also important to lubricate the chassis in accordance with the manufacturer guidelines. Once, the oil change is completed, your engine will operate more cleanly and with optimum efficiency.

Lube, Oil & Filter Change Benefits

As an internal combustion engine operates, the lubricating oil absorbs the contaminants produced when fuel is ignited. If these particles are not removed, they can cause wear and damage to the engine. When oil becomes saturated with the contaminants it loses its ability to properly lubricate the internal parts of the engine. When this happens, the oil breaks down, resulting in limited oil flow. When oil is dirty it also flows slower than clean oil, making the engine work harder which can lead to excessive heat and potential engine failure. When oil is changed and the filter replaced regularly, it keeps the engine running more efficiently and smoother. This leads to a longer engine life.
