A vehicle oil change is one of the most important maintenance procedures to keep your car's engine in good condition. It can prevent you from having engine problems like a build-up of dirt and debris in the oil, oil leaks, and overheating. It is also necessary to replace the oil filter. You can find information about how often you should change your oil in your owner's manual.
Regularly changing your vehicle's oil is essential for maximizing fuel efficiency and reducing friction. The friction produced by the engine's moving parts causes excessive heat that can damage the engine. The oil protects these parts by forming a barrier that reduces friction so that less force is needed for these parts to move. This barrier also helps reduce the amount of fuel used by the engine. As a result, regularly changing your oil keeps your car's engine clean and smoothly running when driving around Fresno.
An oil change often involves changing the oil filter. An oil filter helps keep the oil clean by trapping dirt and debris, which can cause your engine to overheat and reduce its fuel efficiency. A service technician may also check or replace other fluids and filters during a full-service oil change. For example, the technician may inspect the air filter, coolant levels, power steering fluid, brake fluid, chassis lubrication, and washer fluid.
