The Importance of Regular Oil Changes In the Midland Summer Heat

It’s even hotter than average this summer in Texas which means regular maintenance has never been more important. Your Lincoln is an important part of the family, and keeping it in great shape requires regular attention. The experts at Rogers Lincoln can help make sure it stays in top condition with all the required regular maintenance. Let’s take a look at why it’s important to stay on top of it.

Your Lincoln is a precision luxury vehicle, and there’s no more important part than the engine. That engine needs a reserve of oil to function smoothly. Engines have always been the most complex component of a vehicle, and a modern Lincoln engine is an advanced machine designed to the highest standards. Thousands of parts inside need oil to provide proper lubrication and ensure they function properly.

What does the oil do? When running, your engine generates heat. You can feel the warmth on the hood after a long trip. Heat causes wear and tear on the engine components, and that big Texas summer sun only complicates matters. Oil cools your engine down, keeping the parts safe from the heat that would otherwise cause them to break down. Poorly lubricated parts create additional heat from friction, only making matters worse.

That’s why oil is important, but why is it important to change your oil regularly? That’s because oil breaks down over time, becoming thick and dirty. This is a natural process and there’s nothing you can do to avoid it. Dirty oil introduces impurities to the engine components, degrading them in a manner similar to the heat we talked about above. You need to regularly change your oil to ensure it’s doing the best job possible.

The benefits of regular oil changes are many. A key advantage, especially these days: it helps to make sure you’re getting maximum gas mileage. Engines with poor oil have to work harder and use more gas. If you don’t keep your oil in top shape, you could be paying more in the long run at the pump. The other long-term benefit is keeping your Lincoln around for years to come. Staying on top of your oil changes means your vehicle’s important parts are kept safe and effective.
