Why are Cortland oil changes so vital to the health and longevity of your vehicle? Watch this video to see what can happen if you don't change your oil.
Routine oil change service--for your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram, that's just once every 8,000 miles--works in multiple ways to keep your vehicle's powertrain functioning properly. Engine oil:
- Lubricates moving parts
- Reduces friction and therefore reduces heat
- Cleans away dirt
- Prevents rust or corrosion
- Prevents accumulation of sludge
That simple fluid plays a much more important role than many people think. And while modern engine oil is more robust and long-lasting than ever before, it still have its limits.
When engine oil gets old, it gets thin and is unable to properly lubricate those fast-moving components. A dirty oil filter also starts to push debris and dirt back into the system circulation, which is terrible for your engine. Slowly, these small impurities start to add up, and if left for too long can lead to total engine failure.
