Top 5 Signs Your Engine Needs an Oil Change
Your engine oil plays a vital role in keeping your vehicle running smoothly. Over time, oil loses its ability to lubricate and protect engine components, which can lead to costly damage. Recognizing the signs early can save you time and money.
Here are the top 5 signs it’s time for an oil change:
-
Dark or Dirty Oil – Fresh oil is golden brown. If it looks black and dirty, it’s overdue for a change.
-
Loud Engine Noise – Increased friction due to old oil can cause knocking or rumbling sounds.
-
Oil Change Light – If your dashboard warning light is on, don’t ignore it.
-
Exhaust Smoke – Blue or dark exhaust smoke can indicate oil burning inside the engine.
