As the pistons perform their function, they require lubrication to move freely as you commute from Frederick, MD to Chambersburg, PA. Reducing the friction of many different engine components is just one function oil performs. Not only does this reduce wear and tear, extending the lifespan of these parts, it also makes them perform more efficiently, actually reducing the amount of gas your engine uses and saving you money in fuel costs.
At the same time, fresh oil is placed in your engine, a new oil filter will be installed, helping remove any impurities that find their way into your oil. Moving engine parts lose microscopic bits and pieces, which become embedded in the oil. Over time, they build up, acting almost like an abrasive. While the filter does an excellent job of catching many of the impurities, they will build up in the oil over time, turning it from a clear honey color to a dark gray or even opaque black. You can check your oil dipstick once a month to keep an eye on your oil level and color.
If you notice dark oil, the level is too low, or it's been the recommended amount of time since your last oil change, you'll want to bring your vehicle in for service. With synthetic oil blends, you can extend times between changes, but always refer to the recommendations in your owner's manual for the type of oil to use in your engine.
