What Does Oil Do for Your Vehicle?

Engine oil handles several critical jobs in your vehicle. First and foremost? It lubricates the multitude of moving parts in your engine, reducing friction and preventing wear. Oil also helps cool your engine components, preventing premature breakdowns and the spread of dirt and debris.

Unfortunately, oil also wears out with time and needs to be replaced. Our dealership uses high-quality MOPAR-approved oil to ensure your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram vehicle has the protection and support it needs.

Signs that You Need an Oil Change

While it's largely recommended that vehicles get an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, it's not uncommon for some drivers let things go a bit longer. If you're worried it's been too long, look for these signs of trouble:

• Dark, dirty oil on the dipstick instead of amber-colored oil
• Engine noise or knocking sounds while driving
• A burning smell inside the vehicle cabin
• Excessive exhaust smoke while accelerating
• Engine overheating issues

If you experience any of these, contact our MOPAR service center and arrange an appointment.
