The Importance of Changing Your Oil

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine, and keeping it fresh is crucial for peak performance. In St. Louis, where stop-and-go traffic affect your car, fresh oil helps improve fuel efficiency and prolong engine life. At Car-X Tire & Auto, we see firsthand the impact that routine oil changes can have.

How Routine Oil Changes Help Your Vehicle

  • Smooth and Efficient Engine Operation: Fresh oil ensures optimal lubrication, helping your engine perform at its best.
  • Better Gas Mileage: Less friction means your engine doesn’t have to work as hard, saving you money on gas.
  • Longer Engine Life: Routine oil changes protect your engine from wear and tear, allowing it to last longer.
  • Avoid Expensive Repairs: Neglecting oil changes can lead to engine damage, resulting in high repair bills.

Best Practices for Oil Change Timing

Your oil change schedule depends on factors like driving style, climate, and vehicle type, but most experts suggest every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. For the best performance, follow manufacturer guidelines or speak with our professionals for expert recommendations.

Why Professional Oil Changes Are Worth It
