High Mileage Oil Changes

Extended Oil Changes and the Oil Filter

Your oil filter starts to become clogged with sediment and other contaminants and loses its filtering effectiveness. That is why it is so important to follow your vehicle's recommended oil change intervals set out in your owner's manual including the installation of a brand new factory authorized OEM oil filter.

Risks of Driving Too Far Between Oil Changes

Driving too many miles between oil changes invites greater risk for engine damage caused by sludgy oil that's contaminated with filth that can neither lubricate nor cool the engine properly. To understand these risks you have to understand a little bit about how your engine works. Your pistons and other mechanical parts are moving and functioning in an extreme environment ranging from freezing temperatures to hundreds of degrees. This is possible due to the viscosity, or ability of your oil, to flow and maintain proper lubrication. However, over time the oil's ability to lubricate and protect your engine deteriorates.
