Importance of Regular Oil Service
It’s crucial to have regular oil services for your car. Oil acts as a lubricant in your engine, preventing friction and protecting mechanical components. Over time, engine oil loses its effectiveness, and low, thin, or old oil can cause internal components to wear out much faster. To prevent this, manufacturers and car experts recommend changing your oil every 12 months, or more frequently for higher mileage vehicles.
Your vehicle’s engine requires the correct grade of oil to lubricate and protect its internal parts. The appropriate oil grade is determined by the vehicle manufacturer based on factors such as engine size and operating temperature range. At Kennings, our highly experienced teams can advise you on the best oil for your engine, and we stock a wide range of oils at all our centres.
Why Change the Oil Filter?
Your car’s oil filter is an integral part of the engine, efficiently removing dirt and metal particles from the oil. Over time, this debris can block the filter, so it’s important to replace it regularly to ensure optimal engine performance.
