Spring Oil Change
It seems that everything’s high-tech today. You can even connect your refrigerator to the internet. We don’t expect our tech devices to need routine maintenance. When you turn on your computer, it just works. You don’t need to take it to a computer repair shop periodically for maintenance service. But for now, cars still need maintenance, despite the latest technology advances. Oil change is one important service you shouldn’t neglect. If you live or work in Spring, oil change service is nearby when you visit the Parkway Family Mazda Service Center in Kingwood.
There are many components in your car’s engine, many of which move at high speeds. These parts need to be lubricated to prevent friction from developing. Motor oil lubricates the parts, keeps them clean, and cools down the engine by reducing heat-causing friction.
Motor oil breaks down over time. When this occurs, the oil can’t lubricate the engine the way it’s supposed to, which leads to premature engine wear. The old oil attracts dirt, debris and dust particles, which can turn into engine-destroying sludge. The oil filter becomes clogged and is no longer able to work effectively. This is why it’s crucial to bring your car in for an oil change in Spring.
When the service technician changes your car’s oil, it flushes out the old oil and replaces it with new oil. This cleanses the engine from dirt and debris and lets it work more proficiently. They’ll use the right kind of oil for your vehicle.
Our customers sometimes ask us how often they should get an oil change. The answer depends on what car you drive, how you drive it, and where you drive it. Most manufacturers recommend changing the oil every 5,000 miles, while some advise getting an oil change every 7,500 miles.
Oil Change in Spring
Check your car’s owner’s manual for its recommended oil change schedule. There are usually two sets of recommendations, one for normal driving and one for extreme driving. Pay attention to the differences, because many people fall into the extreme driving category and don’t realize it. Some examples of extreme driving are cars that drive in very hot or cold weather, in stop-and-go traffic, or do a lot of towing and hauling. If you’re not sure when to bring your vehicle in for its next oil change service, please contact us. We’re happy to help.
As we said above, when you get an oil change at Parkway Family Mazda, we’ll use the right type of oil for your vehicle. There are three types of motor oil available today: conventional, synthetic and synthetic blend. Synthetic oil was developed to provide the most protection. It has the disadvantage of being more expensive than the other types of oil. Synthetic blend is a mixture of synthetic and conventional oil. It offers some of the advantages of synthetic oil and has a lower price tag. Conventional oil is the most economical type of motor oil.
