đ Why Timing Your Oil Change Matters
Planning a summer getaway? Before you hit the long trip, your engine needs a little treatmentâstarting with a fresh oil change. Neglecting this one simple task can lead to breakdowns, worse performance, lower fuel economy, or worse: costly engine repairs while you’re miles from home.
So when is the best time to get an oil change? Right before your summer road trip.
đ˘ď¸ How Oil Changes Protect You During Long Drives
Your engine runs hotter and harder in summerâespecially during long drives. This can lead to a higher engine temperature. Hereâs why clean oil is crucial:
- Lubricates the engine to reduce wear and tear
- Cools engine components to prevent overheating
- Traps dirt and debris that could damage your engine
- Improves gas mileage, especially on highways
Without regular oil changes, your car works harder, uses more fuel, and risks stalling when you least expect it.
đ Signs You Should Change Your Oil Before a Trip
Here are some benchmarks that might be helpful before your trip:
- Itâs been 3,000 to 5,000 miles since your last change
- Your oil is dark, dirty, or smells burnt
- You hear engine knocking or feel sluggish acceleration
- Your oil change light is on
Even if youâre not seeing these signs, if a trip is comingâwe would recommend doing an oil check up.
