Why do I need to get an oil change? The blood in your body. Water in the desert. And oil in an engine. Theyre all vital. Without them, someone or something is going to die! Oil is an essential lubricant in your engine. It lets metal press against metal without damage. For example, it lubricates the pistons as they move up and down in the cylinders. Without oil, the metal-on-metal friction creates so much heat that eventually the surfaces weld themselves together and the engine seizes. Which is not good if youre trying to get somewhere. On the other hand, if you want someone else not to get somewhere, then draining the oil out of his or her engine is an effective roadblock! Lets say that your engine has plenty of oil, but you never change it. Two things will definitely happen: Dirt will accumulate in the oil. The filter will remove the dirt for a while, but eventually the filter will clog and the dirty oil will automatically bypass the filter through a relief valve. Dirty oil is thick and abrasive, so it causes more wear. Additives in the oil like detergents, dispersants, rust-fighters and friction reducers will wear out, so the oil wont lubricate as well as it should. Eventually, as the oil gets dirtier and dirtier, it will stop lubricating and the engine will quickly wear and fail. #oilchangeservice #autorepair #enginerepairservice
