Libertyville Mitsubishi shares truth on oil change myth
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Oct. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The old myth is that every vehicle needs an oil change every 3,000-5,000 miles. Libertyville Mitsubishi busts this myth and is instead encouraging drivers to become more familiar with their individual driving habits.
What used to be a popular recommendation is now just a guideline. Today industry experts find that many drivers change their vehicle's oil much too frequently. Instead, Libertyville Mitsubishi recommends its customers to pay attention to how they drive and their vehicle's dashboard to know when it's time for an oil change.
The oil sensor in every vehicle is very sensitive and can determine when the engine oil is close to needing replacement. This light, and the vehicle's manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule, are two simple ways to know when a visit to the mechanic is needed.
Libertyville Mitsubishi also encourages drivers to monitor their driving habits. Towing, travel in extreme temperatures or putting a lot of miles on the vehicle in a short time mean that the vehicle will need an oil change sooner. Whether a vehicle uses synthetic or conventional oil will also be a major factor as to oil change frequency.
When in doubt drivers can visit the Libertyville Mitsubishi Service Department for an oil analysis. The dealership's master service technicians can test the oil for metal flakes and other particulates to see how well the product is protecting the engine components and suggest a personalized oil change schedule. This could be helpful for drivers who put their vehicle through a lot of stress or frequent driving.
Libertyville Mitsubishi is a new car dealership offering a wide range of products and services, including a dedicated service department. For more information about the dealership visit libertyvillemitsubishi .com or call 847-816-6660.
