Regular oil changes are essential to keep your Dodge vehicle running smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Replacing your oil regularly will ensure your car continues to perform at its best, prevent engine damage, and save you from expensive repairs down the road. Continue reading to learn exactly how an oil change benefits Dodge cars.
Engine oil helps lubricate the moving parts of your engine, such as camshafts, pistons, and bearings, reducing the friction between them and preventing premature wear and tear. Over time, this oil will break down or become contaminated with dirt, dust, or other particles, making it unable to function. By changing your oil occasionally, you can ensure your car engine receives a new supply of clean oil for optimal lubrication.
When the oil in your engine is degraded or contaminated, your engine will need to work harder than normal to generate power to propel the vehicle. This will increase the amount of fuel your car burns per mile. Changing your dirty, old oil with a new one will reduce the stress on your engine and improve its gas mileage.
Car engines tend to generate a lot of heat. This is due to the internal combustion process and friction between the engine parts as you move. Engine oil helps minimize this heat by reducing friction and absorbing some. So, regular oil changes will lessen the risk of engine overheating, which can lead to serious mechanical issues.
As you replace your motor oil, your engine gets rid of sludge, dirt, debris, and dust that could have accumulated inside. This will ensure that your engine is free of particles that can affect your vehicle’s performance and safety.
Changing your engine oil regularly will also prolong your engine’s lifespan, as it ensures proper lubrication, reduces wear, and cleanses the engine. So, it’s good to get an oil change when due to keep your engine humming for years to come.
When and how often to get an oil change service depends on several factors, such as your car’s model, oil type, and driving conditions. For instance, if you use conventional engine oil, you need to change your oil every 3000-5000 miles. Meanwhile, you can go around 5000 to 8000 miles before needing an oil change if you use synthetic oil. However, replacing your engine oil at least once every 12 months is good.
