Auto maintenance doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore on your to-do list. At our dealership, a Dodge oil change can be quick and convenient. Plus, there are numerous reasons that you shouldn’t skip oil changes, which we’re highlighting at Fields Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM Glenview.
Your Oil Becomes Compromised
Your engine oil’s primary purpose is to lubricate your engine, which reduces friction and heat. However, as it ages, it thickens and can’t move freely and lubricate your engine like it should. This is why you can’t simply refill your oil and it needs to be routinely replaced instead.
Your Engine Could Become Damaged
Without fresh oil, the excess friction will start to wear down your engine parts. Plus, the extra heat can cause the parts to warp. Your engine could even completely overheat, which results in engine failure.
You’ll Have Increased Emissions
Your engine oil also helps to keep your engine clean. It collects dirt and debris as it moves. However, when it becomes too dirty, you’ll be contributing extra emissions to the environment.
You’ll Have Decreased Fuel Efficiency
All of that sludge will also restrict your engine. It will have to work harder than usual, even just for everyday drives. That will also lead to excess fuel consumption, diminishing your fuel efficiency.
Your Performance Will Suffer
When your engine oil can’t flow easily, your engine can’t move as efficiently either. When this happens, you’ll likely see your performance suffer. You could experience reduced power or sluggish acceleration.
