North Houston Oil Change Service

Your vehicle’s engine consists of several moving parts that require lubrication. Oil keeps the engine lubricated properly and prevents engine damage. Oil should be changed regularly because it degrades over time and becomes unable to lubricate the engine properly. Changing the also oil removes dirt from the engine. If the dirty oil isn’t replaced, it will lead to engine damage.

The results of the latest research are quite surprising. Every fifth car on the road is driving with dirty engine oil or an oil level that’s too low. Changing the oil allows the engine to run at maximum efficiency, and it extends the life of the engine. Changing the oil regularly isn’t expensive, and it’s certainly a lot less costly than replacing the engine. Fortunately, the Parkway Chevrolet Service Center offers quick and economical oil change service in North Houston.

Here are some of the reasons why it’s so important to change your car's oil and oil filter at regular intervals.

Engine Lubrication

The different parts of your car’s engine move very fast. Oil keeps these parts lubricated, preventing friction that creates heat that would cause the parts to wear out. Different vehicles require different types of oil. If you’re unsure which kind of oil your car requires or the weight and grade, consult your vehicle’s owner's manual. If you can’t locate your manual, feel free to call the Parkway Chevrolet Service Center. We’ll let you know which type of oil your vehicle uses. Check the oil level periodically to maintain the proper amount of oil.

Keeps Oil Clean

Old engine oil contains dirt, grime and dust. Dirty oil can harm the engine components, which can shorten engine life. Keeping the engine clean by changing the oil and the oil filter will remove dirt and sludge, and it will allow the engine to continue to run properly.

Provides Fuel Efficiency

If your car’s engine is properly lubricated with motor oil, it will save fuel. Failure to change the oil in your vehicle regularly can reduce fuel economy by up to 2%. While this doesn't sound like a huge hit, it will add up over time and cost you money.

Increase Longevity

A well-maintained car will last longer. Dirty oil causes the engine to work harder, which causes engine problems and shortens engine life.
