OIL CHECK
Oil Change – Have you checked your oil?
The engine oil in your vehicle reduces friction and wear on the moving parts inside the engine. The car oil removes residual impurities and helps to cool the mechanical components of your engine.
Although impurities are removed via an oil filter, the quality of your engine oil degrades over time, meaning you need an oil change at regular intervals. How often you’ll need to do this depends on the make and model of your car or van, your driving style, and annual kilometers.
We advise customers to get their engine oil checked every year or approximately every 10,000 kilometers or check your owner manual for your car specifications.

Your car’s engine is a complex piece of machinery containing a number of moving parts. Most of these components are metal, some of which need to rub against each other. For example, pistons move up and down inside cylinders, rubbing against the interior wall.
Engine oil lubricates this process, making it more ‘slippery’. Despite this, friction still occurs, creating microparticles of metal and dirt, which are carried away by the oil.
During this lubrication and cleaning process, oil is slowly burned off. Over time this means your oil level drops and needs to be replaced or topped up.
