Why should you change engine oil?
Engines are designed to allow oil to enter into areas around the piston and valves. As you continue driving your vehicle, the oil in your engine eventually wears out, breaks down and becomes contaminated. As this happens it becomes less and less effective at absorbing heat and lubricating the important parts in your engine. Running your vehicle with dirty oil causes its parts to begin to grind together. This causes damage, creates noise and allows heat to build up. When you begin to notice the colour of the oil getting darker, freshen it up. General recommendation for an oil change is every 5,000-8,000 kilometres.
