Ever wonder why you need to have your oil changed? Your car functions properly because all of the many parts of the car are working together. Without all of the parts doing what they're supposed to, your vehicle won't work like it's supposed to.
Many of the parts of your car don't even touch each other. Instead, they are riding on a thin layer of oil. Oil keeps all of these moving parts separated and prevents friction and damage of those parts. Oil also circulates and cools parts of your car. The oil moves through the car and carries away heat that is generated. Without the proper amount of oil, temperatures within the engine will rise, causing damage.
Oil keeps your engine clean by continuously lubricating it. As it lubricates, it picks up dirt and other contaminants and moves it along through the vehicle. When the oil in your car hasn't been changed, it becomes over saturated with contaminants and eventually forms deposits within the engine.
Regular oil changes can remove contaminants from your engine and keep all the working parts of your car working together properly. Stop in Orleans Ford today for your fast, simple, and affordable oil change!
