The leaves are changing colors and the weather is cooling – and that means it’s time for fall car care. If it’s been a while since your last oil change, this is a great opportunity to catch up on regularly scheduled maintenance with our service team at James Martin Chevrolet.
Improved Performance
The biggest reason to get regular oil changes is straightforward: it gives you better performance. Over time, oil absorbs dirt and other contaminants that find their way into the engine, but until you change your oil, those materials remain trapped inside. Fresh oil gives parts more lubrication and keeps everything running its best, reducing wear and tear.
Catching Up with Your Schedule
Your owner’s manual should give you a complete timetable of scheduled maintenance, including regular oil changes. If you’ve fallen behind on your service, a fall oil change is a great opportunity to catch back up. If you have trouble remembering regular maintenance like oil changes, doing them at the beginning of a season may help jog your memory next year.
Warranties and Protection Plans
If your car is still covered by a warranty, it may require that you come in for all of your scheduled maintenance, including oil changes. Missing a scheduled visit can void your warranty, which may cost a lot more in the long run. On the other hand, if you can show your car received all scheduled maintenance, it will be worth significantly more as a trade-in.
