You've probably heard it said that you should have your oil changed every 3,000 miles to keep your car in working condition. While there is some merit to this, drivers do have a bit of leeway depending on the make of their vehicle, its age, and more. In any event, if your oil change light turns on or you notice any of the below symptoms, it is important to come into the service center at as soon as possible so we can help to fix your problem.
What Happens When Your Car Runs Out of Oil?
Oil is one of the least expensive yet most important maintenance items you can have addressed. The oil in your vehicle acts as a lubricant and helps to wick heat away from your engine while you drive. During this process--and over time--that oil can pick up dirt, dust, and other debris that can contaminate things and make driving less smooth, efficient, and less safe.
One of the first things you may notice when you need an oil change is that your engine will overheat. You may also notice other parts nearby beginning to warp or malfunction due to the heat. If your car is newer, your check engine light may come on right away alerting you to the issue. When ignored, bad oil or a lack of lubrication can lead to engine malfunction and even an entire breakdown which could be costly and inconvenient.
