Fresh oil can make a major difference for the engine in your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, or Wagoneer, so bring it to Sheridan Motors CDJR for proper care! Also, browse this overview to get an idea of what you stand to gain.
Purpose
The importance of oil in your car’s powertrain can’t be understated. This substance is crafted and refined from crude petroleum and configured to best suit your vehicle’s motor. It is designed to lubricate its inner workings and prevent friction from causing heat to build up. Thanks to this, it allows your engine to last longer and perform better. Additionally, it cleans the components that it passes over, collecting dirt, dust, and other contaminants as you drive around Sheridan. Because of this, it will inevitably become more viscous during your travels, causing it to be less effective over time. That means it must be swapped out for a new batch on occasion.
Timeline
The frequency at which you get an oil change for your vehicle varies from one driver to the next. However, we highly recommend dropping by our Service Department at least once a year. That way, the oil in your engine can be replenished after changes in season. If you frequently drive across long stretches of road like Interstate 90, then you may want to visit us more often. Getting new oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles may be necessary depending on the age and condition of your car. Be sure to check its Owner’s Manual for manufacturer-specific recommendations.
Synthetic vs Conventional
When you get fresh oil for your car, you will want to consider what kind you wish to use. Conventional oil has been common for many years, and it will ensure that your model’s engine stays in good shape during trips along 5th Street. It also remains a budget-friendly option! However, it doesn’t last as long as its counterpart, which is known as synthetic oil. While it’s still made from petroleum, it is more highly refined and can last up to 10,000 miles in many cases. This substance isn’t meant for all cars, so check with us to learn more.
