High Mileage Oil Change

What Oil Does for Your Engine

To understand why old oil is bad, you should know what fresh oil does for your engine. Oil constantly flows through the engine to lubricate and cool moving parts. It cycles through the oil filter to clean out tiny metal particles and other contaminants, reducing engine wear and tear while protecting against corrosion.

How Old Oil Can Be a Problem

Oil breaks down and loses viscosity as it ages with more miles. This aging is hurried along by heat, which means that the normal function of oil breaks itself down over time. As oil breaks down, it loses its capacity to lubricate, and it can burn away on the hot engine, making it so that you have less oil circulating. Your oil filter also gets clogged with all the particles and sludgy from broken-down oil, making it harder to circulate. Old oil can expose your engine to lots of wear, damage, and corrosion when left unattended.
