How Long Can You Go Without an Oil Change?

4/5/2019 10:50:00 AM | (354) View Count | Return
Knowing how long you can drive between oil changes is a gray area for most drivers. Most manufacturers’ manuals will suggest every 3,000 - 5,000 miles, but as humans, we can sometimes be forgetful. So what happens if you forget to have your oil changed, or you just aren't sure when to have it changed again?
 

Driving on Low or Bad Oilchange motor oil

There are a number of things that can go wrong under your hood if you’re driving with low or old oil. Oil is the lubrication that keeps all the parts in your engine working properly and absorbs heat to keep your engine from overheating and malfunctioning. Like all parts, oil needs to be replaced or replenished. Old oil becomes sludgy, doesn't effectively lubricate the engine, and has a negative effect on your fuel economy. Signs of driving with low or bad oil include
  • • Knocking or loud engine noises
  • • Oil light or check engine light comes on 
  • • Excessive exhaust smoke
  • • Oil smell inside the cabin of your vehicle
 

Trust the Experts

Trying to do an oil change yourself can get quite messy if you don't have the knowledge or tools needed to do it the correct way. Instead of getting your driveway or garage dirty, save yourself time, mess, and money by bringing your vehicle in to your local United Tire and Service. Our team of highly trained mechanics have all the right tools and equipment needed to perform a quick and clean oil change for our customers.
