Burlington Oil Change Service

When you bring your car to Burns Hyundai's Burlington oil change service for scheduled maintenance, the visit will include an oil change. Changing your vehicle's oil regularly is essential to prolong the engine's life and keep your car running properly. If you've wondered why changing the oil is so important, we'll explain what happens during an oil change and why it's a necessity.

Your car's engine is a technological marvel that's made from many moving parts. To keep these parts from being damaged, they must be kept lubricated with motor oil. This oil must be changed regularly, because it breaks down over time, and picks up contaminants like dirt, dust and debris. Old, dirty engine oil isn't able to lubricate the engine properly. If it's not changed, it will shorten the engine's life and could lead to damage.

Studies have demonstrated that about 20% of the vehicles on the road are driving with either dirty oil in the engine or low oil levels. When you bring your car to Burns Hyundai for oil change service in Burlington, the engine will work at peak efficiency, and you'll avoid the need to deal with a large repair bill down the road. Oil changes aren't expensive, especially when you compare the price of an oil change with repairing or replacing the engine. Here are some reasons why changing the oil is a necessity.

As we discussed above, engines contain many moving parts, including the pistons and valves. These components move very quickly. Without oil to provide the necessary lubrication, these parts would wear out very quickly due to friction.

Friction causes heat. Without motor oil, the engine parts would heat up, leading to overheating. The engine's oil helps to keep it cool and prevents overheating.

Changing the oil removes the particles and sludge that can damage your vehicle's engine. Accumulated dirt and grime can lead to corrosion in the engine, which will shorten its life. Regular oil and oil filter changes will remove the sludge and allow the engine to work correctly.

Failure to change the oil at regular intervals will cause your car to run less efficiently. Many people don't realize it, but vehicles running with old, dirty oil can take s hit in fuel economy by as much as 2%. If that doesn't sound significant, consider that the extra money you'll spend on gas adds up over time.

Keeping the engine properly maintained will extend its life. Driving with dirty engine oil causes the engine to work harder, which can lead to it wearing out prematurely.
