Oil Change in Florissant
Oil and Filter Changes
With the countless moving metal parts in an engine, lubrication is essential for protecting the engine’s internals and preventing a buildup of excess friction. Without the proper amount or condition of oil, the engine’s components would build up a dangerous level of heat and can cause immediate and irreparable damage.
This is where oil changes come in, as they provide your engine with the proper amount of fresh and clean oil. In general, it’s best to have a full-synthetic oil change performed on your engine between 7,000-15,00 miles, however, if you are using conventional or synthetic-blend oil it will likely need to be replaced earlier. The true oil change interval varies based on a variety of factors including make and model, so it’s always best to consult your owner’s manual or a trusted professional regarding it.
Oil filter changes, often performed during an oil change service, it vital for keeping your oil free of contaminants. Over time the filter will catch a great deal of debris and contaminants from the oil loop, protecting your engine, but at a certain point this filter may become clogged with the debris it catches, preventing an adequate amount of clean oil from reaching your engine.
