Kia Synthetic Oil Change

What Happens During a Synthetic Oil Change?

A synthetic oil change is a simple procedure during which old engine oil is drained out of the engine and replaced with fresh, synthetic oil. Usually, the oil filter is changed at the same time that the oil is changed. Oil changes are necessary because engine oil degrades in quality over time so that it doesn’t lubricate as well. This could lead to overheating and wear on mechanical engine parts if old engine oil isn’t changed. Scheduling periodic oil changes is one of the most important things you can do to maintain the condition of your engine.

Consequences of Neglecting Oil Changes

You will eventually experience engine problems if you don’t have oil changes done often enough. Engine components are likely to wear out due to friction between moving parts and inadequate lubrication. Failing to have your oil changed can cause operating temperatures within the engine to get dangerously high. In severe situations, neglecting to change your oil can lead to catastrophic engine failure.
