Why Regular Oil Changes Matter

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine, and keeping it fresh is crucial for peak performance. In St. Louis, where changing weather conditions can take a toll on your car, sticking to a regular oil change schedule can prevent costly repairs and optimize performance. At Car-X Tire & Auto, we see firsthand the impact that consistent oil changes can make.

Why You Should Never Skip an Oil Change

• Enhanced Engine Performance: Clean oil reduces friction and wear, keeping your engine running smoothly.
• Improved Fuel Economy: A well-lubricated engine burns fuel more efficiently, improving your mileage.
• Longer Engine Life: Regular maintenance prevents the build-up of harmful deposits, extending the overall lifespan of your vehicle.
• Cost Savings: Neglecting oil changes can lead to engine damage, resulting in high repair bills.

Best Practices for Oil Change Timing

Your oil change schedule depends on factors like driving style, climate, and vehicle type, but most experts suggest every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. For the best performance, follow manufacturer guidelines or speak with our professionals for expert recommendations.
