As your engine’s lifeblood, motor oil must maintain its ability to clean, cool, and lubricate the moving parts for optimal performance. However, as oil circulates, it gradually degrades due to the pressure and heat inside your engine.
In addition, the oil collects dirt, metal shavings, and other potentially harmful particles. The oil filter captures these particles, but it eventually becomes clogged with debris.
To keep your engine running smoothly, visit our Orlando, FL shop for an oil change. Our technicians will remove the old filter, drain the oil, replace the filter, and refill your engine with fresh oil.
An engine filled with degraded oil and a dirty filter cannot operate efficiently. Its moving parts lack proper lubrication and cooling, which can result in excessive wear and damage to the engine’s components.
Moreover, as the oil degrades, it can turn into a sludgy substance that blocks the engine’s oil passages and increases resistance against the moving parts. This can lead to a higher risk of catastrophic engine failure.
Your vehicle typically needs an oil change every 3,000 to 10,000 miles, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations. Synthetic motor oil lasts longer than conventional oil, but harsh driving conditions can shorten its lifespan. If you need guidance on your vehicle's specific requirements, our service advisor and technician will collaborate to determine the ideal oil change intervals for you.
During your appointment, we'll change your oil and oil filter, check the condition of other fluids, perform inspections, and address any additional needs your vehicle may have.
