Determining When You Need An Oil Change
How To Determine When Your Vehicle Needs An Oil Change
If you check out the Internet, or ask around about how often you need to change the oil in your car, the most likely answer you get is “get an oil change every 3,000 miles traveled.” This has been the most generally accepted rule of thumb, regardless of what type of car you have.
A Regular Oil Change Can Extend The Life Of Your Engine
But, as automobile technology has improved, people start to wonder if we really need to replace the engine oil that often. Well, there is no simple answer to this because there may be some cases where the oil must be changed every 3000 miles.
Because there are many things that may affect the need for an oil change: such as the age of the vehicle, how it is being used, and even the weather.
Too bad that it is not so easy to know when the car engine oil must be changed! If only we could see the amount of impurities that build up in the engine oil, it would be much easier to know when to plan your trip to the auto shop.
If you want a better idea of what the oil change interval for you the best place to look is in the instruction manual for your vehicle. You will find detailed instructions on the recommended times when to change the vehicles oil. If you take a look, you may be pleasantly surprised at just how long you can go without an oil change.
What Engine Oil Does
The engine oil keeps the engine components well lubricated and reduces the friction level. Engine oil change also keeps the engine cool plus avoids overheating.
Clean oil is recommended because the lubrication power of the engine oil decreases over a period of time and therefore it becomes all the more important to change the engine oil as per schedule.
Another important thing is the servicing happens at regular intervals so that the vehicle performs according to expectations and the essential parts of the vehicle can be kept from wearing-out prematurely.
When you do decide to get the oil changed in your vehicle you can save money by printing out online oil change coupons. You can typically save five to ten dollars on a regular oil change.
Maintaining your vehicle can be a tiresome job, but you don’t need to worry as Comfort Auto Repair provides the best car maintenance tips that will save you time, frustration, and money.

The car premiered at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991, with the first examples rolling off the production line on August 6, 1991. Short (SE) and long (SEL) wheelbase sedans were offered initially, as well as the coupé (SEC) body style from January 1992. Like all Mercedes-Benz lines, the W140 S-Class was rationalized in late 1993 using the new “letter-first” nomenclature, dropping the named distinction between body styles. The SE/SEL/SEC cars were renamed the S-Class, with alphanumerical designations inverted. For example the both 500SE and 500SEL became S500 regardless of wheelbase length. In 1996 the coupé models following a mid-life update where separated into the CL-class. The W140 series S-Class was superseded by the W220 S-Class in 1999 after an eight year production run, the coupé by the C215 CL-Class for model year 2000.
