One of the most vital vehicle maintenance tasks our teams take care of every day is oil changes. It may seem like a simple little thing, but they actually have a very large impact on the function of your Chevrolet model. Oil changers are a quick and inexpensive way to ensure that your Chevrolet continues to run just as it should. Keep reading below to learn more about why getting routine oil changes is so important!
The Importance of Oil
No matter what kind of Chevrolet model you drive, the oil running through the engine is immensely important to its performance. The oil’s main job is to ensure that all the engine’s moving parts are properly lubricated, allowing them to do their job properly without overheating and causing friction. If the oil starts to get too old and breaks down it will start to accumulate metal shavings, dust and dirt from the engine and become sludge. This sludge will block the oil filter and stop lubricating the moving parts. When this happens and it is not taken care of, it can quickly become serious and result in expensive engine damage.
Benefits of Oil Changes
There are a number of ways that getting routine oil changes can positively affect the performance of your vehicle! First is the avoidance of expensive engine damage. We quickly covered this above but we are going to dig deeper because it is very important! If the oil in your Chevrolet starts to degrade it will become hazardous to your engine and its production. Moving parts that are supposed to be lubricated will not be and it will cause friction which can erode the parts. Repairing this damage can be very expensive but it is avoidable with routine oil changes. Another great benefit is your Chevrolet’s fuel economy! That’s right, old oil and sludge make it harder for your engine to perform which leads to more gas usage and more stops at the gas station. That is a lot of money out of your pocket and it all can be avoided by ensuring that the oil in your Chevrolet is changed routinely.
