Hyundai Oil Change Service in Kansas City

Why You Need the Oil Changed

Oil is a critical component of your vehicle. It circulates through the engine, lubricating the moving parts to reduce wear and tear. Oil also moves out dirt and grime that gets past the oil filter and into the engine. Another job for oil is to cool the engine to keep it from overheating.

Over time, oil gets dirty and loses its viscosity, which makes it less effective. When this happens, you need to change the oil, so that it will work the way it should. If you don’t change your oil, the engine will have to work harder, and the parts will create more friction as they move. You’ll also notice lower efficiency and fuel economy in the vehicle. In time, the lack of oil changes can damage the engine.

How to Know When It’s Time for an Oil Change

Your owner’s manual will tell you how often to change the oil. For older models or those that use traditional oil, it’s usually recommended every 3000 miles. Newer models that use synthetic oil can go 5000 miles, 7000 miles, or even longer.

If you can’t remember the mileage when you changed your oil, you can look for other signs that it’s time.

• Dashboard light comes on to indicate an oil change is needed.
• You look at the oil from the dipstick, which is dark instead of transparent.
• The engine runs rough.
• Your fuel economy is lower than usual.
• You have trouble picking up speed.

You don’t want to delay getting an oil change because it’s hard on the engine.
