Oil changes may seem like a routine maintenance task, but they are one of the most important services you can do for your car. Clean engine oil keeps your engine running smoothly, reduces wear and tear, and helps prevent costly breakdowns.
At J&E Automotive, we’ve seen how neglecting this simple service can lead to expensive repairs — and how staying on schedule can keep your car running for years longer.
Why Oil Changes Are So Important
-
Lubrication for Engine Parts
Your engine has many moving parts that generate heat and friction. Fresh oil reduces friction and prevents premature wear. -
Removal of Contaminants
Over time, dirt, metal particles, and other debris can collect in your oil. Without regular changes, these contaminants circulate through the engine and cause damage. -
Temperature Control
Oil helps regulate engine temperature by reducing heat buildup. Old or low oil can cause your engine to run hotter than it should. -
Improved Fuel Efficiency
Clean oil allows your engine to run more efficiently, which can improve your miles per gallon and save money at the pump.
How Often Should Nashville Drivers Get an Oil Change?
The right oil change interval depends on your vehicle, oil type, and driving habits:
-
Conventional Oil – Every 3,000 to 5,000 miles
-
Synthetic Blend Oil – Every 5,000 to 7,500 miles
-
Full Synthetic Oil – Every 7,500 to 10,000 miles
However, Nashville drivers should also consider local driving conditions:
-
Stop-and-go city traffic
-
Hot summer temperatures
-
Frequent short trips
-
Towing or hauling heavy loads
These factors can shorten the recommended oil change interval. When in doubt, follow your manufacturer’s guidelines and consult with our certified technicians.
