Whether you're driving a brand-new Acura, a well-traveled truck, or a beloved old station wagon, they're all run by essentially the same piece of machinery: an engine, with pistons moving around 2000-3000 rotations per minute and belts moving at lightning speed, whose components are creating a lot of friction and a lot of heat. While there are systems in place to help cool the engine, your lubrication system is one of the most important.
This system circulates oil throughout the engine to lubricate moving parts and reduce friction, which thereby reduces heat, and even slows down the process of wear-and-tear that all engines suffer from.
It may seem like magic--but it's still just a mortal substance. Engine oil needs to be changed on a fairly strict schedule to be effective.
The Benefits of Routine Oil Changes
- Smoother engine performance
- Longer life for your engine
- Better fuel economy
- Cleaner engine--less build-up of debris
- Lowered emissions
