You may have noticed that there are intervals that get recommended in which you should get an oil change completed, but why? Oil has numerous important roles to play when it comes to the health of your Toyota and its engine. It has lubrication that it uses to assist its moving parts from rubbing together and causing friction, and it also removes unwanted debris from the engine. So, what happens when you don’t get an oil change at the recommended time?
While it may not happen immediately after the recommended mileage or time frame for an oil change, over time, oil that doesn’t get changed, and filters that don’t get changed can become a problem for your engine’s health and overall longevity of your vehicle. As time passes, old oil has the potential to build up a sludge substance that not only won’t clean the engine, but it can cause the engine to work harder.
