Getting an oil change is one of the most critical aspects of vehicle maintenance. Motor oil lubricates the engine's moving parts, reduces friction and wear, and helps regulate engine temperature. Over time, oil breaks down and gets contaminated, reducing its ability to protect the engine. Skipping oil changes can lead to decreased fuel economy, higher emissions, and, in extreme cases, severe engine damage that requires costly repairs.
Most manufacturers recommend getting an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your vehicle and driving conditions. Check your owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval for your specific make and model. Using the proper grade of oil is also important. Consult with a service technician at Cutter Mitsubishi-Aiea in Aiea, HI if you're unsure which oil is best for your vehicle.
