When To Change Oil

Oil Change Tips

Aside from knowing when to change your oil, you should also keep these oil change tips in mind: 

  • Find out if you should use synthetic or conventional oil on your vehicle. The information is probably in your owner’s manual. 
  • All motor oil eventually breaks down, even if the car isn’t driven regularly. If you don’t drive your car often, make sure you change it at least twice per year.
  • Replace your oil filter whenever you change your oil. The parts center at Sid Dillon Nissan near Beatrice can help you find the right oil filter for your Nissan.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

Check your oil level once a month to prevent problems when you’re driving around Kearny. Watch for any changes in your oil’s color or texture. They can be a sign of potential problems. If you’re low on oil or need service, reach out to us at Sid Dillon Nissan.

What Happens If You Don’t Change Your Oil?

As motor oil ages, it breaks down and becomes less effective at lubricating the moving parts in your engine. As a result, it increases friction, which can overheat your engine. When your engine gets excessively hot, serious damage may occur. That is why it’s essential to change your oil according to the automaker’s recommendation..
