Randy’s Speedy Brake and Muffler – Auto Repair Services

There is a popular saying you may have heard of that “A change is as good as a rest” When it comes to your vehicle an oil change can rejuvenate your vehicle. Dirty oil in your engine makes your engine slower and more sluggish – it does not as run well as an engine that has its oil changed regularly.
The frequency that your engine needs an oil change depends on your vehicle and type and quality of oil used. The professional recommendation  to have the oil changed is 4 to 5 months, or after having driven 5000 km in the vehicle.

What are the advantages of having a regular oil change?

Here are some benefits to consider:

• It extends your car’s engine life because a regular oil change lowers the friction in the engine, which reduces the heat out-put.

•  Regular oil change removes oil pollutants which shouldn’t be in your car system, which improves the engine performance.

• Regular oil change in your engine protects the engine from wear and tear, therefore the longer you take, the more the risk of engine problems and possible failure.

• Regular oil changes help save money on fuel consumption. This is because the combustion of the engine operates at optimum capacity with clean oil.

• Studies indicate that regular oil change for your car can actually help prevent accidents The reason for this is that when you take your car for regular maintenance at your local garage, an expert mechanic can recommend preventive action to be taken on parts that require urgent attention or replacement, which can prevent future accidents caused by defective or worn out parts.

• You do not need to be a motor mechanic, to know that it is much more expensive to replace an engine than have the oil changed regularly
