They say, “Hindsight is 20/20,” but where missing oil changes are concerned, it is more like 10W30.  Keeping up with an oil change schedule takes commitment and sometimes it is hard to tell if your efforts are effective.  There is also no immediate, tangible benefit at the outset and well into the late innings of ownership.  What can you do to motivate yourself and benefit from the single easiest thing you can do to extend the life of your engine, save fuel, and protect your car’s resale value?   

An excellent idea is to tie another more noticeable maintenance procedure to the oil change.  Rotate your tires on the same schedule as the oil changes.  Detail the inside or outside in conjunction with the oil changes.  

A consistent oil change regime maintains engine lubrication.  All the moving parts, pistons, valves, and other engine parts are moving at high rates of speed and the specific oil recommended by the manufacturer of your vehicle will protect these parts. 

When it comes to lubrication, smooth is fast and fast means heat.  Your engine will run cooler with quality, fresh oil lubricating all those precision-engineered parts. 

As engines are used, sludge can appear in time.  Regular oil changes can carry the sludge away before it can slow the oil flow in your engine and gum-up ports and parts. 

Promoting vehicle longevity and protecting resale value are two sides of the same coin that you do not have to flip to become a winner.  You can take this coin to the bank where you keep your peace of mind.  Make your appointment today at the Phillips Lightnin’ Lube
