The Oil Change Procedure

An oil change procedure is a simple but essential procedure for maintaining a vehicle's engine. Engine oil provides lubrication for the moving mechanic parts of the engine. This oil needs to be replaced periodically because engine oil degrades over time. Contaminants can accumulate in the oil that can detract from its effectiveness as a lubricant. During an oil change, old oil is removed and replaced with fresh oil. At the same time, the oil filter in the vehicle is changed.

The importance of oil change service cannot be stressed enough. There are severe consequences that can result from neglecting oil changes. If fresh engine oil isn't providing effective lubrication, an engine is likely to overheat. An engine that's running too hot will experience mechanical wear and tear. If engine temperatures get too high, they can lead to catastrophic engine failure.
