**UNDERSTANDING THE LUBE, OIL & FILTER CHANGE PROCESS** 

As oil ages, it becomes laden with contaminants, resulting in the accumulation of excess particles within the engine. This buildup can create deposits that contribute to significant wear over time. When oil reaches a state of oversaturation, its lubricating properties are compromised, leading to an overworked engine, elevated temperatures, and, ultimately, engine failure. 

Excessive heat can also prompt thermal breakdown of your engine oil, altering its viscosity and hindering oil flow. Similarly, dirty oil tends to have a thicker consistency, which forces the engine to work harder, accelerating wear and tear. 

**WHY LUBE, OIL & FILTER CHANGES ARE NECESSARY** 

Routine oil changes are a vital aspect of car maintenance, much like an annual check-up at the doctor. Even if everything seems fine, regular visits promote long-term health and enable proactive decision-making regarding any areas that may require attention, helping you to avoid potential issues. 

Likewise, timely oil changes ensure that your vehicle remains in excellent condition and operates efficiently over time. They also help you evade costly repairs that could result from neglecting the oil change schedule. 

**HOW TO IDENTIFY WHEN YOUR LUBE, OIL, OR FILTER NEEDS REPLACEMENT** 

Most vehicles come equipped with an indicator light that signals when it’s time for an oil change. Additionally, manufacturers provide recommended mileage intervals for oil changes. 

Traditionally, it was advised to change your oil every 3,000 miles. However, due to advancements in lubrication technology, the current recommendation ranges from 5,000 to 7,000 miles. At Morgan's Auto Repair, we recommend servicing at the 5,000-mile mark to help extend the lifespan of your vehicle.
