What Oil Does for Your Car

Oil Change SignsOil is a necessary fluid for your vehicle that provides a few different functions to the engine. The main function is to provide lubrication for the moving metal parts under the hood to help them move fluidly while reducing the friction that they create. Oil also cools the parts, and helps keep them clean by absorbing the particles, debris, and grease found in the engine.

Of course, after a while, your oil will become darker due to the soaked up grease and debris. It will also be thicker because it’s beginning to break down due to the contact exposure to your engine heat. Once it’s in this state, it will start to decrease with its effectiveness at lubricating and cooling your engine parts.

How Do I Know It’s Time to Change My Oil?

Cerritos, CA | Genesis G80 Oil TypeYour vehicle will let you when it’s time for an oil change, thanks to the oil change dashboard warning light. Of course, you can always keep track of your mileage intervals to stay ahead of the oil change and know exactly when it’s time.

  • Loud Engine Noise/Knocking
