Why should I care about an oil change for my Jeep?
Okay, we get it, you don’t understand why we’re harping on about oil changes so much. We’re here to prove to you why you should care at all! The oil in your engine is what is responsible for keeping everything running so smoothly. That’s because the oil is acting as a lubricant in a machine that is moving incredibly quickly with small metal pieces. When those pieces rub up against one another, causing friction, that friction directly causes heat. Thanks to the engine oil, the friction is reduced, and excess heat isn’t added to the system. A lack of consistent oil changes could mean lower fuel efficiency, higher emissions, the potential for overheating, engine damage, and even sludge buildup. Those are all things that we don’t want, and could lead to repairs that no one wants to have to pay for.
How often should I be getting an oil change?
This is the kind of question that has a few different answers to consider. First and foremost, it’s often recommended that you get an oil change for your vehicle about twice a year, or every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. What we want to add to that is you should always be referring back to your Jeep’s owner’s manual to make sure that these numbers are consistent with what your specific vehicle needs. Something else worth adding to the conversation includes where you live and your driving habits. Anyone who lives in a dustier area may need to change more often due to environmental buildup in the engine. Our service technicians would love to discuss all of these factors with you to make sure that your Jeep remains healthy.
What types of engine oil can I choose from?
There are four different engine oils you can choose from for your Jeep vehicle. Conventional motor oil is the most common type of oil, and likely what you initially think of when you get an oil change. This is refined crude oil that has been utilized the longest, and is usually slightly less expensive than the other options. You may also be interested in high-mileage engine oil, which is perfect for your Jeep if you have over 75,000 miles on your vehicle or more. That’s because this oil comes with antioxidants, wear friction additives, seal swells, and more to help combat any potential issues that your high-mileage Jeep may have. Synthetic and synthetic blend motor oils explain themselves, as they use man-made compounds to extend the capability of the motor oil, and allow you to have fewer oil changes, with oil that is less likely to break down and cause issues.
