As your vehicle ages, regular oil changes become even more important. Older engines have more wear on their parts, which means they need fresh, clean oil to keep running smoothly. At Earthycars, we've seen firsthand how proper maintenance helps vehicles last longer.
Over time, engine parts create more friction as they wear down. This causes oil to break down faster in older vehicles than in newer ones. Dirty oil can't protect your engine properly, leading to bigger problems down the road. That's why many mechanics recommend changing oil more often in vehicles with higher mileage. Most older cars need oil changes every 3,000 miles instead of the 5,000-7,500 miles for newer models.
Don't wait too long between oil changes if your car has some years on it. Regular maintenance is the best way to avoid costly repairs. Ready to give your vehicle the care it needs? You can schedule your next auto service with our team in Williston, VT today.
