Some drivers don’t quite understand the importance of a routine Dodge oil change, while others may just be confused about the process. Taking proper care of your vehicle requires many kinds of services, but the oil change is arguably the most important. To help our customers understand why, here are three frequently asked questions concerning Dodge oil changes.
Why Are Oil Changes Important?
Your vehicle’s oil plays an instrumental role under the hood. The engine contains many moving parts which can grind against one another if not properly lubricated. The oil not only ensures the components don’t grind against each other, but also collects the dirt and debris that can build up while you drive. This debris is then filtered out by the oil filter, leaving the oil to repeat the process all over again.
How Often Should You Get an Oil Change?
Depending on the model of your Dodge vehicle, this value will change, but as a general rule, it is recommended that drivers get an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This is because oil becomes less effective at cleaning and lubricating your engine over time, leaving your engine susceptible to damage if left unchanged.
Does The Type of Oil Matter?
Yes, it does. Different types of oil have different viscosities, each of which is better suited for certain engines than others. Although drivers can get away with using the wrong type of oil once or twice, continued use can lead to damage down the road. To figure out what type of oil your vehicle requires, be sure to consult your vehicle’s manual.
