Regular oil changes are an essential part of keeping your engine running well. Over time, the oil breaks down and is less effective as a lubricant. If your engine continues to operate without the proper lubrication, it will begin to damage it.

As you drive, your oil becomes contaminated with dirt and combustion deposits. When these pollutants build up in your oil they act as abrasives and wear down engine parts. Changing your oil and filter gives your engine a fresh start by removing the dirt and deposits suspended within the old oil.

In addition to lubricating the interior of your engine, oil works to reduce friction and cools engine parts. Fresh oil helps to clean deposits of carbon and varnish that can build up on your engine's internal surfaces. Oil also helps to form a tight seal between the pistons, rings and cylinder walls in your engine which serves as a dampener to reduce engine noise.

Here at Refining Repair, we only use Synthetic oils. Yes, synthetic oils are more expensive, yet they provide a higher degree of protection. They typically do not need to be changed as often and they do not break down as easily so they’re more effective at preventing engine wear. By maintaining a higher viscosity over a broader range of engine temperatures, synthetic oils provide superior protection for your engine and its parts.
