Signs You Need an Oil Change

Signs You Need Oil ChangeIn order to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently on your treks throughout La Puente, El Monte, and City of Industry, CA, you’ll want to follow the recommended service schedule. However, one of the most important services to have performed for your Honda is an oil change.

There are plenty of ways for you to stay ahead of this important yet simple service. At Norm Reeves Honda Superstore West Covina, we’re here to list off the signs that you need an oil change, so you can ensure your vehicle’s needs are being met.

What Oil Does for Your Honda

Oil Change Oil is a crucial substance to go with your engine. If you’re familiar with the phrase, “like a well-oiled machine,” this is what they’re talking about. It helps to keep the moving metal parts in your engine lubricated and cool, so they can move efficiently without creating too much heat.

Oil will also help these parts remain clean and free of debris to prevent any obstructions, which will allow your vehicle to run smoothly.

However, despite all its best efforts, oil doesn’t last forever. In fact, it has an expiration date. After a few thousand miles, your oil will begin to break down from its exposure to the engine heat over time, as well as its absorption of excess grease and debris.

When oil is in this state, it will be less effective at keeping the parts moving efficiently, and your vehicle will show signs that it’s time for an oil change.

The Signs You Need an Oil Change

The best way to stay ahead of your next oil change is by knowing how long your oil lasts and the last mileage at which you had it changed. Of course, it’s easy to lose track of the odometer readings, so here are a few signs that tell you it’s time to change the oil:

  • Honda Maintenance Minder Code A/Code B
  • Engine performance is sluggish
  • Your fuel efficiency has decreased
  • There are loud noises/knocking from under the hood
  • Thick exhaust smoke

The Benefits to Keeping Up With Your Oil Changes

If you follow through and get your oil changed in a timely manner, your vehicle will reap the benefits. On top of performing at its best, the fuel efficiency will be higher, due to the parts moving swiftly rather than sluggishly. Old oil causes the engine to work harder and burn up more fuel.

Another major benefit to having your oil changed regularly is that it goes a long way to ensure the strong health of your engine—allowing your vehicle to last you for more years and miles!
