How Does Engine Oil Work?

• Mineral oil is refined from crude oil and pumped under pressure through the engine to reduce friction.

• Synthetic oil is chemically engineered for longer-lasting, uniform properties that enhance engine efficiency and sustainability.

• Oil viscosity changes with temperature, and manufacturers specify the correct oil type for optimal performance.

Signs That Engine Oil Needs Changing:

• Engine oil level warning on the dashboard.

• Engine oil pressure warning, indicating circulation issues.

• Service indicator lights, signaling overdue maintenance.

• Oil quality warning, suggesting degraded oil.

What Happens During an Engine Oil Change? A mechanic will:

1. Raise the vehicle and protect surrounding areas from oil spills.

2. Drain the old engine oil and replace the oil filter.
