The Importance of Regular Oil Changes

Having the oil changed on your vehicle may seem like a hassle, but there are excellent reasons why it is essential to get regular oil changes by the certified mechanics at Melloy Dodge.

Vehicle engines are made up of a lot of moving parts, and those parts get hot when the car is running, breaking down engine oil. If oil changes are overlooked it can lead to costly repairs!

As you drive, oil breaks down and can become filled with dirt, debris, and dust from the engine and from driving in our New Mexico climate. When motor oil becomes dirty or contaminated, it doesn’t lubricate the moving parts in your engine well and can cause damage that may not be covered by your manufacturer's warranty. Melloy Dodge technicians will also be checking multiple points underneath your vehicle for hidden mechanical issues-- another money-saver!

So, let Melloy Dodge help you avoid costly repairs!  We recommend having your oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every three months
unless otherwise indicated by the vehicle manufacturer. Check your owner's manual for additional information.

There are many benefits to routine oil changes. The experts at Melloy Dodge are available for your vehicle’s service appointment. And, rest assured that the technicians at Melloy Dodge are taking measures to ensure your safety and the safety of our staff, by taking the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during this difficult time.
