High Mileage Oil Change

Why Does My Vehicle Need an Oil Change?

Your vehicle's engine contains several metal components that move very quickly. Without sufficient lubrication, the friction created by these parts rubbing against each other would severely damage the engine in short order. This is where engine oil comes in: it keeps the moving parts of the engine lubricated. However, the oil will break down over time and will need to be replaced to keep your engine from suffering damage.

Risks of Waiting Too Long Between Oil Changes

While going a handful of miles longer than the recommended oil change intervals is not likely to cause much damage, pushing it much further can lead to some real consequences. You may not notice these consequences immediately, but they can show up later in some unpleasant ways. Every time you wait too long for an oil change, your engine will begin to wear down prematurely. The result of this is an engine that suffers from a shortened lifespan.

Of course, if you push this even further and continue to go without an oil change, your engine will eventually suffer some severe damage, and you will find yourself in need of a new engine or a new vehicle.
