Most auto experts recommend an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles nowadays to keep your engine running for many, many years. You should check with your auto maker to check their recommendations, but one thing every expert will agree on is that changing your oil regularly at the appropriate times is a major factor in extending the life of your vehicle. It is often recommended to also change the oil filter when changing the oil, and even if you don’t change your oil, to check it every several hundred miles to be on the safe side.

Oil changes are necessary because oil undergoes thermal breakdown with the high operating temperatures it is in. With the breakdown occurs, the oil becomes much less effective in keeping your engine lubricated. Without lubrication, the parts of the engine rub against one another and wear out. Oil also contains additives that have the ability to neutralize acids. Over time, these additives get used up and stop being effective. Finally, oil can absorb water, dust and combustion byproducts and also hold them in suspension. Eventually, the oil gets saturated with this stuff and can’t absorb any more. Then that stuff remains in the engine and can cause corrosion. So it is that simple – refer someone to us, and you’ll get an oil change for free. We here at Good Works Auto Repair thank you for your valued business.
