Why are oil changes necessary?

Ultimately, high operating temperatures lead to the thermal breakdown of oil, rendering it less effective as a lubricant. Lubricant is essential in the prevention of engine part wear due to excessively friction. Acid neutralizing additives in oil decrease in effectiveness over time, and oil eventually becomes saturated with dust, water and combustion residues that cause engine corrosion. Neglecting regular oil changes will lead to poor engine performance. Oil performs many essential functions, and clean oil will perform much more efficiently than dirty oil. Regular oil changes are essential to vehicle’s performance and safety.
