Why Are Regular Oil Changes So Important for Car Health?

It's been said that a regular oil change is the single best thing you can do for your vehicle. We couldn't agree more in our service center at Serra Ford Farmington Hills in Farmington, MI. Regular, factory-recommended oil changes are a small investment that pays big dividends over the life of your vehicle, whether it's a Ford Escape, a Mustang or a quality car from another car maker. Here are a few reasons why.

Your Ford engine faces a lot of friction every day

Inside your Ford engine are 200 or more parts, many of them rubbing against each other, creating friction and gradually wearing each other down. Your motor oil lubricates and protects all those vital engine parts. But motor oil can't work as well after it picks up all the dirt and grime and tiny metal fragments that accumulate over time. When we change your oil, all that microscopic gunk gets flushed out and replaced with brand new oil.

How Long Can You Go Between Oil Changes With Synthetic Oil?

In the past, we recommended changing oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. But that was with conventional motor oil. With today's more advanced synthetic oils, you might go as long as 10,000 miles between oil changes and get better lubrication. If you do a lot of stop-and-go driving in places like Livonia or South Lyon, MI, your oil changes might need to happen more often. Ask a service manager what's best for your vehicle when you make your next service appointment.
