Maryland drivers know that regular oil change service is a large part of owning a vehicle, but why exactly are they so important? Our team at Heritage Mazda Towson is here to answer this question!
When to Change Your Oil
Let’s start with when you should change your oil. The exact timeline for oil changes depends on a variety of factors, including your model, engine, oil, and driving habits. Usually, we recommend changing your oil every 5,000-7,500 miles.
Alternatively, if you don't drive very often or you haven't in the past year, you should aim for every six months. Even when your vehicle is just sitting, your oil will begin to degrade and decrease in viscosity, which will affect your vehicle’s engine health and performance.
Benefits to Changing Your Oil
Perhaps the best reason to change your oil regularly is the improved performance you’ll experience. Keeping your engine stocked with fresh motor oil is a great way to ensure optimal performance from your Mazda vehicle.An oil change is a simple, affordable service, but it can go a long way to preventing major damage. Your motor oil helps keep your engine running smoothly by providing lubrication to the internal pieces. Oil also helps maintain a level temperature to prevent overheating, and it absorbs harmful materials such as dust and debris.
