Synthetic Oil Change
Purpose of oil
How often is it that you find yourself thinking about the best oil option for your car? If you’re a normal, day-to-day driver, likely not until it’s time to have your oil changed. Synthetic oil is the most commonly recommended oil for modern-day cars – think any car in the last decade. Your oil plays an important role in making sure all the parts that surround your engine are rotating and moving properly – properly means without hitting each other and creating friction. When there isn’t enough oil and too much friction is created, you are putting your car at risk of engine failure.
How to know when to change your oil?
There are tons of signs and ways to know that your oil is dirty or low and needs to be changed. Below are signs to look out for, but if you still have questions, set up an appointment with our team at Jess Hass Mazda and our technicians will help answer any questions you have.
- Oil light lights up on the dashboard
- Decreasing fuel efficiency
- It’s been more than the manufacturer recommended amount of time to change the oil (typically around 6,000)
- You check your oil and the dipstick comes back either low or with dark, dirty oil – to check your dipstick, simply open the oil (make sure the car is cooled down all the way!) take out the dipstick, clean it with a towel, place it back in, take it out and you will then be able to examine the cleanliness and oil level
What happens if I don’t change my oil?
When you don’t change your oil, you are not only causing friction and a potential breakdown like listed above, but you are also making other parts work even harder. By overworking other parts, you are creating the potential for additional and unnecessary wear and tear. At Jeff Hass Mazda, our team of professional technicians takes pride in providing each customer who walks in with a five-star service for every service. When it comes to getting your oil changed, you should never short-change your car. Getting the right kind of oil, while also frequently cleaning or replacing the oil filter can keep your car running smoothly. Need your oil changed?
