Save Big Bucks with a Cheap Oil Change in Longmont

cheap oil change LongmontThe top two fluids that a car needs to run smoothly are fuel and oil. While oil is an essential factor in proper engine operation, it is not designed to last very long. Depending on the vehicle and type of oil, the recommended interval between oil changes lies somewhere between every 3,000 to 10,000 miles. However, if you are driving in extreme temperatures, on dirt roads or in a stop-and-go pattern for extended periods of time, it is recommended to change your oil more frequently than the manufacturer’s guideline. With an oil change being such an inexpensive service, it’s better to play it safe than be sorry- bring your car into Carworks of Longmont for a cheap yet valuable oil change (only $14.95 for first time customers)!

Expensive Risks of Skipping a Cheap Oil Change

  • Particle Corrosion: High temperatures produced inside the engine will eventually cause oil to breakdown and result in parts starting to corrode due to the settling of particles. This thermal breakdown decreases the oil’s ability to dissipate particulates, which will then rub against moving parts and cause premature wear.
  • Sludge Buildup: This condition develops when oil starts to turn to gel and therefore cannot flow through the engine as it is supposed to do. When the crankshafts, bearings, camshafts and other valve train components are not getting the lubrication they need to operate properly, major damage can result and even require a total engine rebuild.
  • Engine Damage: Mechanics will perform a leak down or vacuum test will determine if neglected maintenance has caused damage. Sometimes skipping an oil change will not cause any problems but more often, some level of wear will result and could lead to a sooner-than-expected part replacement.

With an oil change being such a quick and affordable maintenance service, it pays to do it on a regular basis and prevent costly repairs! Make an appointment today at Carworks of Longmont for a cheap yet thorough oil change that includes a 16-point courtesy inspection- and if you are a new customer, you’ll pay only $14.95!
