Most Rhode Island vehicle owners know that proper vehicle maintenance is vital to ensure longevity, safety, and durability. While various standard maintenance tasks that should be done on all vehicles, one of the most vital is regular oil changes.
Vehicles have several key fluids that ensure they run optimally. These include gasoline, oil, and antifreeze, as well as lesser but still equally as vital fluids, like the brake, transmission, and power steering fluids. Each plays a critical role in ensuring optimum vehicle safety, longevity, durability, and performance.
When it comes to engine care, the oil is the primary fluid that keeps the powertrain parts lubricated and reduces friction, keeping the engine running cool. Over time, as the oil moves through the engine, it gets murky with dirt and dust particles making it less effective and causing increased wear on engine parts. Regular oil changes prevent this and allow your engine to last longer without a replacement.
Regular oil changes can extend the life of your model. In general, oil changes are recommended for most vehicles every 7,500 miles. However, for older and high mileage vehicles, as well as those whose drivers do substantial driving around Jamestown and beyond, oil changes should be completed every 4,000 to 5,000 miles.
