Oil Change Notes
Many Council Grove, KS owners understand that their oil should be changed based on the owner's manual recommendations. Depending upon the engine, an oil change may be necessary every 5,000 or 10,000 miles. Time is not on the side of motor oil, and six months to one year could be the maximum time to allow aging oil to remain in the engine. If the oil in a RAM 1500 or Dodge Durango changes from light green to black, the oil is likely dirty and requires changing.
Motor oil lubricates parts and prevents friction from causing damage. Fresh motor oil also improves efficiency and fuel economy, making drives less costly and smoother. Not changing the engine oil could lead to impurities, causing problems or sludge buildup, which commonly necessitates engine cleaning.
Change the Oil Filter
An oil filter protects your vehicle's engine. It keeps dirt and other impurities out but loses effectiveness as it clogs. Age leads to clogs, so changing the filter must also be a priority.
