Oil Change: When and Why It Is So Important

Regular oil changes are one of the most important maintenance measures for your vehicle. Engine oil lubricates all moving parts of the engine, keeps it cool and protects it from wear. Over time, however, the oil loses its lubricating properties and becomes contaminated with combustion residues.

Experts recommend an oil change every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or once a year – whichever comes first. In modern vehicles with a longlife service, the interval can be longer. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendation in your vehicle manual.

A neglected oil change can lead to increased engine wear, overheating and, in the worst case, engine damage. ENBA helps you never miss the right time for the next oil change.
