One of the most common and costly mistakes vehicle owners make is neglecting routine oil changes. Regularly changing your engine oil and oil filter is one of the most effective ways to extend the life of your vehicle and maintain peak engine performance.
High-quality motor oil plays a critical role in engine health. It reduces internal friction, lubricates moving parts, and forms protective seals between components like cylinder walls, pistons, and rings. These seals not only lubricate but also help cool and clean the engine by minimizing carbon buildup and varnish deposits—both of which can degrade engine performance and shorten its lifespan. In addition, motor oil helps quiet your engine and cushions the impact of its many moving parts.
