Routine oil changes help ensure your car’s engine stays running smoothly. If you’re not sure how often you should get the oil changed in your car, rely on the expert advice of Reffitt’s Garage & Towing Service, Auto Body Repair in Hamilton, OH. With over 30 years of experience in auto body repairs, engine repairs, and towing services, Greg Reffitt and his team offer some insight into the truth about oil changes.

Over time, the oil that runs through your vehicle will pick up dirt and rust. If this dirty oil runs through your vehicle for too long, it can begin to wear on the engine and might cause it to malfunction. Regular oil changes provide your vehicle with the clean oil it needs to run effectively and can even prolong the life of your engine.

The answer to how often to get your oil changed seems to vary because there is no one set rule for all vehicles. While it used to be common knowledge to have your vehicle’s oil changed every three months or 3,000 miles, today’s engines and advancing technology make it less black and white. The easiest way to know when to change your specific model’s engine oil is to consult the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The type of oil you use for your oil change will vary based on the type of vehicle you have. Premium conventional oil is usually used for new cars, while full synthetic oil is ideal in high-tech engines. When you bring your car into Reffitt’s Garage & Towing Service, Auto Body Repair, their engine repair experts will be able to offer a recommendation on the best oil to use for your car.
