Your used car's oil is its lifeblood. Frequent oil changes are required to keep it running in tip-top shape for years to come. When your oil service light pops on, you may roll your eyes, but this service is not to be ignored. If you forgo it for some time, it could do serious damage to your engine. Our Youngstown area used car service department is here to tell you when it's time for a used car oil change.

How Often Should My Vehicle's Oil Be Changed?

If you're beginning to experience issues with your vehicle, it's time for your used car's oil to be changed. Here are a few signs to look out for:

  • If your oil is clean, it will be a light amber color. After some time, the oil will darken and become dirty from the particles it has collected from the engine. If your oil is dark or dirty, it's time for a change.
  • Your engine's clean oil provides a thin barrier between engine parts that protects against metal-on-metal contact and keeps your engine quiet as you drive. If your engine is louder than normal or you hear a knocking, your oil needs to be changed.
  • If you notice smoke coming from your tailpipe, be sure to check your oil. There could be an oil leak in your engine.
  • If there's a strong oil odor in your vehicle, that means there's a leak.
