Preston Mazda Gives Top Reasons to get Oil Changed
(PRWEB) June 19, 2014 -- As much as vehicles cost it is important to keep them in the best shape possible. That is why Preston Mazda offers a high quality oil change and service repairs. Getting an oil change with Preston Mazda is much more than it sounds. The vehicle will get thoroughly checked for other problems that the vehicle might have. The Service Technicians at Preston Mazda do all of this in an extremely timely manner, allowing the customer time to go about their day. There are important reasons as to the importance of getting the oil changed in a vehicle. Engine oil provides three key functions in the engine. It first helps keep the engine components working smoothly together. Inside the engine there are thousands of controlled detonations happening every minute, it can be extremely hot and oil helps draw heat away from the combustion chamber. It also helps prevent carbon and varnishes from accumulating in the engine. Oil also helps to keep the vehicles engine clean. The oil within the engine is constantly cleaning as it lubricates picking up and holding dirt. Oil is similar to a sponge. A sponge has the ability to pick up and hold fluids, dirt, etc. When a sponge becomes saturated it cannot hold fluid any longer. These same things apply to motor oil. When oil becomes saturated with contaminants and can’t hold any more than the excess falls out of suspension and can form deposits in the engine. Regular oil changes will remove suspended contaminates before they can form. This helps the engine run cleaner and much smoother.
It is also important to know what oil to use. There are many different types of oil and it should be fairly easy to determine which kind a vehicle takes. The owner’s manual will usually contain this information. There are two different types of oil; synthetic and conventional oil.
Oil changes are often recommended when a certain mileage or time limit is reached. The most common interval is 3,000-5,000 miles or three months.
The changing of oil is a simple process of draining the old dirt oil from a car and replacing it with a new supply. When a customer comes to the Preston Mazda Service Department to request an oil change they will also receive a check on the all-around vehicle. The first thing that is checked of course the oil level. Then after the oil is changed they service technician’s top off the windshield washer solvent. They also check the power steering fluid as well as the transmission fluid and the brake fluid. The tire pressure is also checked and if the tires need air then they are filled. Lastly, they service technicians visually inspect the whole vehicle and make sure everything is working properly. Oil level, top of washer solvent, check power steering fluid, transmission fluid, brake fluid, tire pressure, visual inspection of whole car. Mike Snyder, a Master Certified Mazda technician at Preston Mazda said “changing your oil is cheap insurance, it is around $30 whereas a new engine job would be around $9000”.
