Regularly scheduling oil changes maintains the optimal performance that your vehicle needs during travels around Weymouth, MA. This routine task significantly impacts performance despite the simple nature of the task. To ensure that your car runs smoothly mile after mile, MINI of Rockland will assist you in staying on schedule for oil changes.
Changing your oil every 3,000 miles used to be the standard. Nowadays, advancements in vehicle technology allow for longer intervals between oil changes. Depending on your car's make, model, and year, many manufacturers now recommend oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
Cars that use synthetic oil may be able to extend the interval to 10,000 or even 15,000 miles. To determine the optimal timing for scheduling an oil change, refer to your recommended maintenance schedule or consult with one of our knowledgeable service professionals.
Before we discuss the oil change process, let's talk about the role of oil in your vehicle. Oil serves to lubricate the engine and its components, so your car performs in a smooth fashion. During your commute to Beantown, your car inevitably collects various debris and dirt, which the oil absorbs in concert with the filter.
The accumulated dirt contaminates both the oil and the filter after driving your car for some time and diminishes the ability and effectiveness to absorb it all. Neglecting to schedule an oil change at the appropriate intervals could result in a less satisfying driving experience.
Our proficient service professionals handle routine tasks like oil changes with ease. Through frequent practice, they have honed their efficiency in performing these services. Typically, an oil change can be completed in under an hour.
Incorporating multiple routine maintenance tasks into your appointment may extend the time needed to address each task, so keep that in mind.
When a technician performs an oil change, the tech will replace the old oil with fresh oil and install a new filter. Since the process significantly enhances your car’s performance and is relatively quick, it’s worth accomplishing.
When you understand that oil plays a crucial role in lubricating your car's engine and various components, you might wonder why adding more oil isn't enough. Although this can act as a temporary solution, it doesn't address the real reason for an oil change.
Initially, the oil appears clear and golden, and the oil filter will be clean and fresh. With continued use of your car, however, the oil may darken in color, become sludgy, and lose effectiveness. The oil filter also becomes quite dirty.
If you add oil and blend it with the existing oil, it becomes a less effective mixture. To restore your car to its optimal performance, an oil change must be done. Supplementing oil can be done between appointments if needed, but regular oil changes give the service technician a chance to examine your car.
By keeping up with regular oil changes at the appropriate intervals, your car can travel all over Weymouth, MA, with ease. Reach out to MINI of Rockland either online or by phone, so your car will be on track for service.
