Oil Life System
Many of today's vehicles are equipped with an Oil Life Monitoring System (OLMS). This system interprets your vehicle's speed and engine temperature and continuously monitors operating conditions, which helps determine when it's time for an oil change.
The OLMS monitors a number of conditions, including engine revolutions, engine temperature, and miles driven to let you know precisely when to come in for an oil change. As soon as you notice your vehicle's OLS light illuminate, it's time for service.
Checking Your Oil Level
Even with an OLS, it's important to keep track of your oil level. Always consult your vehicle's Owner's Manual Owner's Manual for the proper procedure to check your oil level. You'll get a more accurate dipstick reading by following those instructions.
Oil Change Warning Signs
When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message displays, service is required for your vehicle as soon as possible. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and the OLMS must be reset. The Certified Service experts at your dealer will do this.
If your vehicle is not equipped with an OLMS, consult your Service and Maintenance Schedule contained within your vehicle's Owner's Manual for proper change intervals.

Why Do You Need Oil Changes?
Oil changes are some of the most important routine maintenance procedures you can perform for your vehicle. When you visit our service center for an oil change, our experts will get to work, popping open the hood and swapping out your old engine oil for a fresh supply.
But many drivers in the Sanford area may wonder: why are oil changes so important? When you drive your car, your engine vibrates and has lots of moving parts, all of which will rub together and cause lots of friction and heat. That's where the oil comes in. Oil works as a lubricant, ensuring that the engine can do its work without causing too much friction and overheating. Because of this, you can probably see why it's important for your car to have a sufficient level of oil at all times.
What Happens if I Don't Change My Oil?
Simply put, the results can be disastrous. If you do not get an oil change on time, then your engine's performance can be severely impacted, causing poor acceleration and other issues. This can be caused by either a low oil level or excessively dirty oil.
If you go even longer without getting an oil change, then you can be at risk of rendering your car completely inoperable. If your car does not have a sufficient amount of oil, then you are at a high risk for a seized engine, which can be a costly repair/replacement. To avoid this, be sure to get an oil change when you need to.
How Often Do I Need To Get an Oil Change?
In general, most technicians will agree that you should get an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for most modern cars. The general rule of thumb used to be every 3,000 miles, but cars and engine oil have been further refined to increase this number. If you want to be sure that you're getting an oil change when you need to, most vehicles' owner's manuals contain that information. However, if you're unsure, you can always come to our service center near Dunn to have our technicians take a look at your vehicle.
