Oil Changes

Massimo Motorworks: Oil Changes

From the first time you owned a vehicle, you were probably told before you even put your hand on the wheel, that you needed to keep up on oil changes. It was probably one of those things that you heard over and over and it never sunk in until you heard a horror story or missed a change yourself.

At Massimo Motorworks we are experts at oil changes and can get you on your way with peace of mind knowing we are here for every oil change your car needs along the way.

Oil Changes

We know you were probably told a hundred times your car needs regular oil changes, but what is an oil change? An oil change is a routine maintenance procedure for your vehicle that involves draining out the old, dirty engine oil and replacing it with fresh, clean oil. This is a big deal because engine oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine, reducing friction and preventing wear and tear. Over time, the oil breaks down due to heat and contaminants, so it needs to be replaced to ensure the engine continues to run the way it should and keep you behind the wheel longer!

Benefits Of Oil Changes

Consistent, regular oil changes offer several benefits for your vehicle, from keeping your engine running smoothly to better overall efficiency of your vehicle. Here are a few of the advantages of keeping up on regularly scheduled oil changes:

  • Improves Engine Performance: Fresh oil helps maintain smooth lubrication of the engine’s moving parts. This lowers the amount of friction, allowing the engine to do its job more efficiently. With clean oil, your engine can run at peak performance, so when you push down on that gas pedal to speed up, you aren’t lagging behind.
  • Prevents Engine Wear and Tear: Over time, engine oil becomes dirty and loses its function. Engine repairs are expensive compared to oil changes – so we recommend keeping up on oil changes to save some money!
  • Enhances Fuel Efficiency: We keep repeating – clean oil. We promise it matters for increased efficiency. This means your engine doesn’t have to work as hard, which can help improve fuel economy and save you from having to visit the gas pump as often!
  • Prevents Overheating: Oil also helps absorb and get the heat away from the engine. Over time oil picks up dirt and debris and doesn’t work as well. Fresh oil helps keep the engine at an optimal temperature, preventing possible damage from excessive heat.
  • Cleans and Protects the Engine: Oil acts as a cleaner by trapping dirt, debris, and metal particles that can build up in the engine. Regular oil changes removes the old oil, keeping the engine clean and functioning properly.
  • Extends Engine Lifespan: Consistent oil changes can extend the lifespan of your engine. By maintaining clean oil and proper lubrication, you help prevent premature wear, corrosion, and the breakdown of engine components, which ultimately means a longer-lasting vehicle.

Common FAQs About Oil Changes

Why is an oil change important?
Yes, if the “Check Battery” light appears, it’s a sign that there’s an issue with the battery or charging system. It’s best to have it checked by a professional to determine whether a replacement is needed.

  • Lubrication: Oil keeps engine components lubricated, reducing friction and preventing overheating.
  • Cleaning: It helps clean the engine by trapping dirt, dust, and debris, which could damage internal parts if left unchecked.
  • Cooling: Oil helps dissipate heat from the engine to prevent it from becoming too hot.
  • Prevents Wear: Fresh oil makes sure that parts like pistons and cylinders don’t wear out prematurely due to lack of lubrication.
How often should you change your oil?
This depends on your vehicle’s make and model, as well as your driving conditions. Generally, most cars need an oil change every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, or about every 6 months. Some newer vehicles may go longer without needing a change. Always refer to your car’s owner’s manual for specific recommendations or one of our technicians can also let you know – and if the oil light is on in your vehicle that definitely means it’s time to come see us.
What happens if you don’t change your oil?
Over time, old oil doesn’t work as well at lubricating and cleaning the engine. This can lead to increased engine wear, overheating, and even engine failure if the oil becomes too thick or dirty.
