In Texas, you can count on dirt and debris. Regular oil changes at CTG Express Lube in Kermit, Texas will help protect your engine against future rust, wear, and corrosion. The life of your vehicle depends on it. Usually SUV vehicles that drive under mild conditions can travel many miles before an oil change. However, many vehicles are driven under severe conditions, which include stop and go traffic, extreme temperatures, short trips of less than 5 miles, towing, and dust, mud or gravel conditions work harder. Over a period of use, motor oil deteriorates and becomes unable to do an efficient job lubricating, cleaning and cooling engine parts. Many older SUVs require oil changes at 3,000 mile intervals. However, thanks to advances in engine technologies, newer model SUVs have a much longer range between oil changes.
When the “check engine oil” light appears, oil change service is necessary for the vehicle as soon as possible, within the next 600 or so miles. If driving under the best conditions, the light might not indicate the need for service, however, it is usually recommended the motor oil and filter should be changed at least once a year. It is generally recommended to change your SUV oil after every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on whether your vehicle requires conventional or synthetic oil. Check your owners manual for details or stop by CTG Express Lube in Kermit, Texas for advice to keep your SUV running safely and smoothly.
If you don’t drive your car a lot, your oil still needs to be kept fresh and clean. It’s not just about the miles either. Changing your SUVs oil is important to help lubricate and cool hundreds of moving engine parts to minimize friction and wear. Oil becomes less effective as it ages, and by not getting the engine warm enough, excess moisture that forms in the engine will not be removed, which can lead to shorter engine life. Removing motor oil from water and keeping unburned fuel to a minimun protects your engine by keeping dirt from collecting, and it also prevents corrosion from moisture or acids that may find their way into your engine.
Motor oil wears out when its additives have been depleted. These additives include anti-wear agents that react with metal surfaces to form a protective coating and stop sludge and contaminants from forming and settling on engine parts or clogging oil passages in your SUV. Fortunately, many newer SUVs make it easy for drivers to know when it’s time to change the oil. Built-in oil life monitors track temperature and driving habits and can more accurately predict when it’s time for new oil change. Let the experts at CTG Express Lube inspect your vehicle to find out if you need Valvoline.
Every SUV engine needs oil. The experts at CTG Express Lube in Kermit, Texas are trained to meet the needs of your vehicle when the time comes.
