When it comes to keeping your car running smoothly, regular oil changes are vital. Search for a local oil change shop closest to you, or one that is highly rated. Did you know that your car can earn a “well maintained” badge on its CARFAX report based on its service history? During an oil change, old motor oil is drained out of the engine through a drain plug, and a new oil filter is installed to remove any contaminants. The type of motor oil used can make a big difference in engine performance. Synthetic oil can offer better performance at greater intervals. By keeping up with regular oil changes and other engine maintenance tasks, you can help extend the life of your car and avoid costly repairs down the road.
