Why Your Vehicle Requires On-Time Engine Oil & Filter Changes

There are many different driving factors and certain conditions that can cause your oil to require changing more often, such as regularly driving on dirt roads, using the vehicle for commercial purposes, or driving in extreme weather conditions. However, you can keep your engine running smoothly and healthily by getting the oil changed on time, ensuring proper lubrication throughout every commute. You should also monitor the oil level of your engine regularly to avoid running the engine low on oil, which can cause significant damage to your engine and reduce fuel economy.

Differences Between Oil Types & Filter Grades

When getting your vehicle’s oil and filter changed, there are a few things you should know about the different grades of oil other than the recommended weight for your engine. Also, it’s important to use a high-quality oil filter that matches the type of oil you are looking to use. Here’s a chart for the oil types that are commonly offered during an oil change and the differences between them:
