Changing the engine oil according to the manufacturer’s recommendations is one of the best ways to keep your vehicle in top operating condition and keep your fuel costs low.

• Oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine, preventing metal-to-metal contact, minimizing friction and carrying away excess heat - all of which promote better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

Motor oil also removes dirt and other impurities from the engine and catches them in the oil filter.

You may end up paying more for other costly repairs, if your vehicle engine is not regularly maintained.
