What is the Importance of an Oil & Filter Change
Many people put off oil changes, thinking they’re not a big deal—but clean oil and a fresh oil filter are essential for a healthy engine. Oil lubricates the numerous moving parts in your engine, helping it run smoothly. Over time, oil breaks down, becoming gummy or thin, which can lead to costly engine problems if left unchanged.
At Dream Coast Auto, we provide expert oil and filter change services, refilling your oil and replacing your filter as needed. Every visit also includes a complimentary courtesy inspection, where our experienced technicians visually check the major and minor systems of your vehicle to ensure safety and reliability.
Oil is essential for your engine, lubricating and cooling its moving parts, reducing friction, diminishing wear, and forming a seal between pistons, rings, and cylinder walls. Without clean oil and filters, carbon and debris buildup can become harmful to your engine. Following the oil change interval recommended in your owner’s manual is key to avoiding costly repairs or breakdowns.
At Dream Coast Auto, we recommend regular oil and filter changes to keep your vehicle running efficiently. Benefits include:
⇒ Improved gas mileage – Clean oil reduces friction, allowing your engine to run smoother and increasing miles per gallon.
⇒ Reduced emissions – Regular oil changes help minimize pollution, as clean oil burns cleaner.
⇒ Prevention of sludge buildup – Fresh oil and filters keep debris and dirt from harming your engine.
⇒ Enhanced engine performance – A well-lubricated engine provides a smoother, more reliable ride.
⇒ Extended engine life – Routine oil and filter changes preserve your engine’s longevity, ensuring better performance, fuel efficiency, and durability over time.
