Regular oil changes are essential when you want to keep your Toyota operating as it should. At Toyota of Irving near Farmers Branch, Texas, we understand that having your oil changed regularly can be inconvenient. While some may recommend a higher-mileage oil change schedule, the truth is that going beyond the recommended oil change intervals can damage your Toyota’s engine. Find out more about oil changes here, including why they need to be performed when Toyota recommends them.
Engine oil is essential to the functioning of your vehicle’s internal combustion engine; it keeps the engine’s moving parts lubricated so that friction does not damage and destroy the engine. The oil that keeps the engine lubricated does not last forever; as time passes, the oil will wear down and become less effective.
Toyota’s oil change recommendations are based on an estimate of how long the oil is meant to last; this varies based on the type of oil used. There’s a small amount of wiggle room built in, but even going a couple of hundred miles beyond the required oil change interval can cause friction to wreak havoc on your engine, shortening its lifespan drastically. If you go even longer between oil changes, you may find that the engine suffers damage and destruction.
