Preventative Maintenance
An oil change can really change your mood. And it will definitely change your oil. One of the simplest, most effective and inexpensive ways to help protect the life of your car, especially its engine, is to change the oil and the oil filter regularly.
Oil is the lifeblood of your engine. It reduces friction, lessens wear, provides lubrication, forms a seal between the pistons, rings and cylinder walls while helping to cool engine parts. Without the cleaning action of new oil, carbon and varnish buildup would be toxic to the engine. And engine oil even dampens the shock and noise of moving parts.
One of the most important aspects of car ownership is keeping up with routine maintenance. Checking your car for potential issues on a regular schedule can help maximize its safety, efficiency, and longevity. Following are recommendations from JCR Auto Repair on a service schedule for your vehicle. It is important to note that the vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations and warranty requirements may differ, so consult your owner’s manual for additional information.
