Oil changes are essential, but few people realize why they're so critical. Oil is the lifeblood of your engine because it lubricates and cools the many moving parts, picking up debris and other contaminants as it moves throughout the engine. Without oil, the engine's components would generate excessive friction or heat, requiring the engine to work harder and burn more fuel. Likewise, dirt and debris would get into the engine, causing corrosion and irreparable damage. In any instance, an overheated engine could quickly leave you stranded on the side of the road between Buffalo and Rochester, a huge inconvenience that's entirely avoidable.
For decades, knowing when to change your oil was a matter of raising the hood, finding the dipstick, and checking the oil level and quality, or you could have a trusted mechanic do it for you. Today, advancements in the automotive industry make monitoring oil life easy with digital monitoring systems that estimate the oil life based on your driving style, the conditions, etc. So, instead of raising the hood and checking the dipstick, all it takes is navigating through the digital driver display to find the indicator, which is typically shown as a percentage.
How do automakers define "routine" when referring to oil changes? In the 1970s, quick lubes became increasingly popular and gave customers a simple way to remember routine maintenance with tips like "3,000-mile oil changes." At the time, no one questioned the guideline because oil quality wasn't as advanced, so the frequency was necessary, and quick lubes were guaranteed repeat business. Fortunately, these industry standards have changed as oil quality has dramatically improved. As a result, routine oil changes mean different things for every automaker, with some models requiring regular service every 5,000 miles and others capable of logging 10,000 miles or more.
