What is an Oil Change?
Engine oil is vital. It lubricates your vehicle's engine, which keeps the metal components from grinding against each other. This, in turn, keeps both excess wear and overheating from occurring. The oil also picks up debris along the way, keeping your engine clean, playing the role of neighborhood trash collector. But all good things come to an end. Over time, the oil gets dirty from the debris it has picked up along the way, and stops doing its job. And then it’s time for an oil change.
When is it time for an Oil Change?
Scheduled maintenance
Let’s put the facts on the table. You completely ignore scheduled maintenance. No, it doesn’t make you an auto rebel. No, it also doesn’t make the issue go away. It just gets your tires and fluids in a world of trouble. Your vehicle comes with manufacturer’s recommended intervals for synthetic oil changes. Pay attention to them, oil changes are super important for your vehicle.
Replace oil warning light
Ahh, we're not the only ones who know you ignore your scheduled maintenance. Your vehicle knows its synthetic fluids just as well as it knows its tires. Your car will also pester you with a reminder to get an oil change.
Low oil level
Over time, you’ll lose some of your oil. Some will disappear, some will likely leak out, even if you don’t notice any big leaks. Get in the habit of checking your dipstick before long drives, and if the oil level is low..well, you know what to do.
Dark, gritty oil
Hopefully, you don’t need to be told that "gritty" shouldn't be used to describe your synthetic auto oil. If the oil is dark and gritty, and doesn't feel smooth to the touch, it's time for an synthetic oil change.

Hmm, what’s the word we’re looking for…very. Yeah, that’s it.
Oil keeps your engine from degrading and overheating. If your oil is low or dirty, it won’t do those things, and suddenly you’ll have a whole engine to rebuild instead of a simple 20-minute synthetic oil change. Oil changes are pretty simple ways to maintain your vehicles health. Check to see when how often your vehicle’s manufacturer recommends an oil change.
