Regular oil changes are important to maximizing the life of your new or used vehicle. One reason it's so important is because your engine is constantly dealing with miniscule bits of dirt, grime and tiny metallic bits created by the natural air exposure of a gasoline-powered engine. Those microscopic invaders can find their way into your engine no matter what kind of vehicle you drive. Their presence is enough to wear your engine out and shorten the life of your vehicle.
The good news about your oil is that it not only lubricates and protects vital engine parts, it also cleans the gunk out, which is great for your car wherever you drive around Mena and Greenwood, OK. When you forget to change your oil, all that built-up dirt and grime keeps circulating through your engine. If delaying an oil change goes long enough, the oil can turn to sludge and you might see a complete engine failure.
The old rule-of-thumb with conventional motor oil was that you needed an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. But with today's synthetic oils, your car can go anywhere from 7,500 miles to 10,000 miles between oil changes. An oil change will flush out the dirt and grime from your engine and replace it with fresh new lubrication that can make your engine last longer and perform better.
Your tires will benefit greatly if you simply give them a tire rotation with every oil change. By repositioning all four tires, you cause the tread to wear more evenly and last longer. It's also wise to ask us to give you a check on your wheel alignment. Just hitting a pothole or running into a curb hard around Pocola, OK can knock your alignment off track and make your steering less accurate. An expert wheel alignment can get you back on track and help keep you safer.
Have you been hearing a squeaky sound every time you step on the brake pedal? That's a sign that your brake pads are probably starting to wear out. Bring your car to us as soon as you can and have us check the condition of your brake pads. We can give you a first-rate replacement of your pads so you can drive more safely. If we replace your pads early enough, we may be able to help you avoid having to also replace your more expensive rotors.
Unlike your brakes, your battery doesn't give you any audible signals when it's starting to lose its juice. We can check your battery by giving it a load test and also clean off corrosion from your cables and connections. If you need a new battery, we have great ones in stock and we can install one for you. Schedule service with us soon at Riverside Autoplex in Poteau OK.
