Is your Mazda vehicle in need of an oil change? Finding quality service for your vehicle can be tough, but Hall Mazda Virginia Beach makes it easy. Here’s everything you need to know about oil change service here at your Mazda dealership.
What Is an Oil Change?
An oil change is quite a simple service. Ultimately, an oil change is exactly what the name implies: an auto technician will replace the current oil in your vehicle's engine with brand-new motor oil. Oftentimes, the oil filter will also be replaced.
Though a simple and fast service, the benefits of regular oil changes are not only positive but are also essential to your Mazda vehicle’s health.
When Do You Need to Change Your Oil?
Technically this varies based on your vehicle, but a good rule of thumb is to change your vehicle every 5,000 to 7,500 or so miles. Drivers who don’t drive often might think they’re in the clear, but you still need to change your oil.
As oil sits, it starts to degrade and lose its viscosity. This can be harmful to your engine and its performance. If you're not driving as much these days and haven't had an oil change within the last six months, we encourage you to set an appointment! Fresh oil ensures your engine is in its best condition.
Consequences of Not Getting Your Oil Changed
We know that oil changes are beneficial, but what happens if you avoid getting them? Here are just a few of the negative consequences your vehicle could face if you put off an oil change:
- Increased Fuel Consumption
- Decreased Overall Performance
- Overheating Engine & Internal Damage
