Keeping up with your vehicle's synthetic oil changes is crucial to maintain it in mint condition for a long time. If you aren't the best at that, this post by Ed Welliver in Mission will help you be more responsible with them. 

It should go without saying that the engine is the most important part of the vehicle. Yes, you need tires, a braking system, a steering wheel, and more, in order to get to your destination safely, but it is the engine the one that provides the power to keep you moving. And, since it is such a crucial component, it's imperative that you do your best to maintain it properly. The best thing you can do for it is change its synthetic oil with some regularity. The synthetic oil is in charge of coating the engine with a protective layer which lubricates it, smooths out its processes, and keeps it in mint condition for years to come. After time and use, however, the synthetic oil needs to be changed. If you don't always remember to provide the synthetic oil replacements, or if you simply don't have the right information to do so, don't worry. In this post, you will learn tips and tricks to help you be more responsible with the engine's synthetic oil changes.

How to Keep Up With Your Vehicle's Synthetic Motor Oil Changes

Learn More About Why You Should Do Synthetic Oil Changes

For starters, it's important that you understand exactly why you should stay on top of your vehicle's synthetic oil replacements. This way, you'll have the right information, so you can be more aware of what your engine needs. The engine's inner components brush against up against each other when the vehicle is running, generating friction, increase the heat inside, and wearing away. The synthetic oil is in charge of coating, protecting, and lubricating them to lessen the consequences. But, if you don't change the synthetic oil regularly, you leave the engine exposed. Soon enough, the components will begin to wear away, the engine will begin to overheat and shut down, and your vehicle will end up useless. If you want to save yourself the trouble and the load of money it costs to repair/replace an engine. ;

Know When to Perform the Synthetic Oil Replacements

Now that you're aware of why you should change the synthetic oil, you should also be aware of when exactly you should change the oil, so you can be more responsible with the replacements. Some of the telling signs that your vehicle needs new oil are:
  • you've gone on the same oil for a number of miles (the precise number of miles will be determined by different factors, so read your owner's manual or ask a mechanic).
  • you've gone on the same oil for over a year, even if you haven't driven your vehicle much.
  • the synthetic oil isn't at the proper level. You will need to perform a dipstick test to see if this is the case.
  • the color and texture of the synthetic oil has changed from a smooth light brown to a gritty dark brown.
  • the vehicle is telling you it needs new synthetic oil. Whether the engine is jumpy and noisy, or the dashboard's 'Check Engine' sign is on, your vehicle is telling you it needs new oil.

Be Reminded of the Synthetic Oil Changes

Finally, if you aren't the best at keeping up with the synthetic oil changes because you keep forgetting about them, then you can be reminded to do them. For example, you can try these methods:
  • set an alarm on your phone for every six months and label it 'synthetic oil change'.
  • document all of the synthetic oil changes on a notebook, so you can keep track of the date in which you performed them, as well as how many bottles you used.
  • have someone in your family share the responsibility with you, especially if you share the vehicle, too.
  • finally, use a reminder service from your dealership or autoshop to be notified of when you need new oil.
