5 Benefits of Getting Car Financing at Your Chevy Dealer

Wondering just how often you need to swap out your old oil? Getting an oil change at our Chevrolet Buick GMC dealership is critical for keeping your car running right, so it's important to know when to do it. Finding the Sweet Spot for Your Oil Change Thanks to better engine designs and the magic of synthetic oil, the intervals for changing your oil have gotten a nice stretch. For newer models, you're looking at hitting up the service center every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but don't forget the golden rule. Always check your owner's manual for the final word. Be aware that your driving habits can impact how often your car needs oil. If you spend a lot of time towing, off-roading, or sitting in stop-and-go traffic, there's a good chance you'll need service more frequently. more Why Bother Changing Your Oil, Anyway? Over time, the oil in your engine breaks down, getting contaminated with dust and dirt and becoming less effective. Fresh oil performs some critical tasks, helping your engine run better, last longer, and avoid unexpected trouble down the road. Keeping Things Smooth Oil lubes up the moving parts of your engine, reducing friction and preventing wear and tear. Not replacing your oil can lead to parts rubbing or even grinding together, and that's bad news for your engine. Cooling It Down When it's running, your engine gets hot. Very hot. Oil carries some of that heat away, keeping your engine cool enough to avoid overheating. Cleaning House All kinds of dirt and debris make their way into your engine, and they could really clog up the works. Oil picks up these particles and carries them away to the filter, where they can't do damage. Signs It's Time for Oil at the Chevy Dealership Seeing the Oil Light If this light pops up on your dash, don't wait around. Check your oil and, probably, change it. Dark, Dirty Oil Check your oil with your car's dipstick: it's supposed to be a golden amber color. If it looks dark and gritty instead, it needs to be changed. Extra Engine Noise Do you have more rumble than usual under the hood? It could be that old oil has stopped lubricating properly, leaving the parts of your engine to knock together without cushioning. Sluggish Performance If your car's not zipping around like it used to or it's guzzling extra gas, take a moment to check your oil. Seeing Smoke If you can see smoke coming out of your exhaust, that's not a good sign. It could mean oil issues, including something serious, like a leak. By hitting those recommended intervals, you can ensure that your car keeps running smoothly. Call Sapaugh GM Country in Herculaneum, MO, to schedule your next oil service.
