Importance of Oil Change for a Vehicle
George began by explaining that the oil in a car’s engine acts as a lubricant, ensuring that all the moving parts work smoothly without grinding against each other. Over time, the oil breaks down and contaminates with dirt and other particles, making it less effective at lubricating the engine. This can cause friction and heat buildup, leading to engine damage and costly repairs.
Jeh was surprised to learn this and asked how often oil changes were necessary. George replied that it depends on the car and its usage. Most manufacturers recommend changing the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, if the vehicle is used in extreme temperatures, it may need to be changed more frequently.
Jeh expressed his worry that getting an oil change could be costly and take time. However, George eased his concerns by mentioning the Palmen Fiat dealership, which he relies on for all his car-related needs. He mentioned that their services are reasonably priced, and the oil change process is completed in less than an hour.
