Buick GMC Oil Change
Jerry's Buick GMC - Oil Change 101
Engine health is vital to keeping your vehicle at its best as long as possible. Regular oil changes and maintenance can achieve just that. Not only do oil changes help to maintain engine lubrication and cool the engine components, but they also serve to improve gas mileage and promote vehicle longevity. This basic maintenance is also important for removing engine wear particles and sludge that accumulates in old oil to prevent your engine from becoming clogged.
Low oil levels can also occur if the vehicle's oil is not changed frequently enough. Without oil, the engine's metal on metal movements can cause friction, which leads to high amounts of heat. This heat can cause the engine's parts to weld together over time and make the engine seize up.
Wondering how often you should change your oil? For optimal engine care, it is recommended that you schedule your Buick or GMC oil change every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on personal driving style and conditions.
It is important to have your oil changed more frequently if you drive through dusty areas, use your vehicle for towing, live in areas of extreme heat or drive for extended periods through areas of high altitude. You should also consider scheduling your GMC or Buick oil change more frequently if your driving style includes rapid acceleration and deceleration. There are other ways to tell if your vehicle's oil needs to be changed. Look for signs, such as:
- The vehicle's oil has turned black
- The "Check Engine" or "Check Oil" light comes on
- The engine becomes noisy or jumpy
