The Essential Role of Oil Changes at Ruben’s Tires

Oil changes are essential for maintaining your engine’s health and performance.

Engine oil plays multiple roles, such as reducing friction, regulating temperature, and preventing sludge buildup, which could block oil passages and reduce efficiency.

Understanding the importance of proper oil maintenance helps extend the life of your engine and improve overall vehicle performance.

How Oil Works in Your Engine

Oil circulates through the engine to lubricate moving parts, minimizing friction and preventing metal components from grinding against each other.

It also absorbs heat from the engine, keeping components at a safe temperature. Over time, oil collects dirt, debris, and fuel residues, which can form sludge and clog passages if not changed regularly.

Synthetic Oil

Engineered for high performance, synthetic oil offers superior lubrication, especially in extreme temperatures. It also lasts longer, providing protection for 7,500 to 10,000 miles between changes.

Conventional Oil

Ideal for older engines or moderate mileage vehicles, conventional oil is more affordable but needs to be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles for optimal engine protection.

Common Signs You Need an Oil Change

Dashboard Warning Light

The oil or check engine light indicates low oil levels or degraded oil, signaling the need for a change.

Engine Noise or Knocking

Insufficient lubrication increases friction between metal parts, causing abnormal noise or knocking sounds.

Dark, Dirty Oil

Fresh oil is light-colored, but over time, it becomes thick and contaminated, reducing efficiency and lubrication.

Excessive Exhaust Smoke

If oil leaks into the engine's combustion chamber, it can create noticeable smoke, indicating the need for immediate inspection and service.

Why Timely Oil Changes are Critical

Prevents Engine Wear

Fresh oil minimizes metal-on-metal contact, reducing wear and tear.

Maintains Fuel Efficiency

Clean oil ensures smooth engine operation, improving fuel economy.

Reduces Emissions

Proper lubrication helps the engine run efficiently, lowering harmful emissions.

Extends Engine Life

Routine oil changes protect engine components, delaying costly repairs.

Key Facts About Oil Change Services at Ruben’s Tires

Clean Oil Improves Engine Efficiency by 2-4%

Fresh oil reduces friction between engine components, ensuring smooth operation and boosting fuel efficiency by 2-4%. This leads to long-term savings, especially for frequent drivers.

Regular Oil Changes Prevent Engine Overheating

Oil helps dissipate heat from the engine. Over time, old oil loses its cooling properties, increasing the risk of overheating and severe engine damage.

Dirty Oil Leads to 50% Faster Engine Wear

Contaminants in old oil form sludge that clogs vital passages, accelerating engine wear by up to 50%. Routine oil changes flush out these impurities, ensuring smooth engine performance.

Engines Last 2x Longer with Routine Oil Changes

Engines with consistent oil changes often achieve twice their expected lifespan compared to those with irregular maintenance, preventing premature breakdowns.

Skipping Oil Changes Increases Emissions

Old, contaminated oil produces more unburned fuel emissions, contributing to pollution. Regular oil changes help engines run cleaner and reduce environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I change my oil?

For conventional oil, every 3,000 to 5,000 miles is recommended, while synthetic oil can last up to 7,500 to 10,000 miles depending on driving conditions.

What are the signs I need an oil change?

Watch for warning lights, engine noise, dirty oil on the dipstick, or smoke from the exhaust. If you notice any of these, visit our Altamonte Springs or South Semoran locations for a quick check-up.

What’s the difference between synthetic and conventional oil?

Synthetic oil offers better protection and lasts longer, especially in extreme conditions. Conventional oil is more affordable but needs more frequent changes.

Can I switch from conventional to synthetic oil?

Yes, switching is safe and often beneficial for older engines or vehicles used in extreme conditions. Visit North Semoran or Apopka for expert guidance.

Do I need to change the oil filter every time?

Yes, a new filter ensures contaminants are properly removed, improving engine performance.
