Q: Why is it important to change your oil every 12 months?

Josh: Over time, engine oil breaks down and looses its ability to properly lubricate and protect your engine. Multiple factors contribute to the degradation of oil including heat. Even if you don’t drive much, oil absorbs moisture and contaminates that can lead to corrosion and wear. Lack of maintenance can cause a build up of sludge in the engine, often referred to as “black death” in the automotive trade. Regular oil changes every 12 months keeps your engine running smoothly and help avoid costly repairs down the track.
