Checking Motor Oil

While you need regular oil changes to protect your vehicle’s engine, no one wants to visit the auto shop every month for service. Monitoring the quality of your car’s motor oil will help you get the most out of it, without putting your vehicle at risk of damage. You’ll continue to experience the best performance levels of your engine as long as the motor oil is clean and flowing well. However, if you don’t change dirty oil soon enough, your car could quickly develop major problems and require extensive repairs. That’s because old oil can’t clean away contaminants and build-ups can form on key components. To avoid this, all you have to do between service is inspect the oil. Use the dipstick to check the level and color of the oil in your vehicle. If the level is low or the oil has changed colors and contains flakes of dirt and grime, it might be time to change it! Most drivers need oil changes every few months, but it depends on how you drive and what kind of oil you use.
