- Engine Lubrication: Oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine, reducing friction and preventing wear and tear.
- Heat Dissipation: Oil helps dissipate heat away from engine components, preventing overheating.
- Contaminant Removal: As oil circulates, it picks up dirt and debris. Regular changes ensure these contaminants are removed.
- Improved Fuel Efficiency: Clean oil reduces engine friction, leading to better fuel efficiency.
- Extended Engine Life: Regular oil changes can significantly prolong the life of your engine.
- Warranty Compliance: Many vehicle warranties require routine maintenance, including oil changes.
