Your Honda from White's Auto Mall Honda is designed to last a long time. However, it needs routine service to keep it running smoothly. One of the important services we recommend that you get at our location is oil changes.
Why Oil Changes Are Essential
Oil is the substance that acts as the lifeblood for your Honda because it cleans and lubricates the parts. Over time, the oil can get clogged with sludge and debris, which decreases engine efficiency.
If the oil gets too low, friction may occur from the parts rubbing together, leading to engine damage or failure. Not only does routine oil service extend the engine's life, it increases fuel efficiency, saving you money at the pump.
Also, scheduling regular oil changes helps reduce contaminants released into the air and helps you pass the emissions test. Your vehicle's manual should include a suggested schedule for oil changes, though you may need it sooner based on driving habits.
Signs Your Oil Needs Service
One of the first signs your oil needs changing is an overheating engine, which can damage the engine. If you have an overheated engine, don't continue to drive the vehicle, and take it for service immediately.
You may also notice you have to fill up the gas tank more often than usual when the oil gets low. Many modern vehicles have an oil pressure light that lights up to alert you when the oil needs changing. Other signs your oil needs servicing include burning smells, exhaust smoke, knocking sounds or other odd noises, and dirty oil.
