Why it is important to have regular Oil Changes:

Many people now days are very likely to leave it longer to replace their engine Oil and Filter.

These images are from two vehicles we serviced recently, please be aware that engine oil must be changed over a time period as well as a mileage period. Just because you do not dive the car very far does not mean you will get away with not changing the oil more often.

The Engine, this is the most important serviceable component within your vehicle, consider it as the Heart of your Car.

Driving around with dirty oil or not enough oil will shorten the life of your engine and associated components that need regular lubrication.

Over time, the repeated heating and cooling of the oil as well as the accumulation of particles will make your engine oil heavier / thicker.

With the engine oil thickness increasing will decrease the oils ability to flow (also known as change in viscosity), this will leave harmful deposits in your engine and cause extensive damage.

Two of the main components affected by the lack of oil changes are the turbo and camshafts, but make no bones about it the entire engine will suffer in some shape or form and premature wear is inevitable.

The quality of oil you put into your engine is extremely important, now days you must use the manufacturer recommended oils for your engine.

IVD would recommend to all our customers that they carry out preventive engine maintenance by having a lubrication and vehicle check over at least once every year regardless of the vehicle mileage covered within that year.

This will reduce the need for any engine repairs and should always be part of your own personal preventative engine maintenance program
