Engine oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle, lubricating moving parts, reducing friction, and carrying away harmful debris. Regular oil changes and engine maintenance are essential to prolonging your engine’s lifespan, improving performance, and avoiding costly repairs. At Squad Workshop, we understand how vital routine oil servicing is, and we’re here to help you protect one of your car’s most valuable components: the engine.
Here’s why regular engine oil maintenance is so important—and how Squad Workshop can make it easy and convenient.
1. Lubrication: Protect Your Engine’s Moving Parts
The engine contains many moving metal parts, including pistons, valves, and the crankshaft. Without sufficient lubrication, these parts rub against each other, creating friction, which leads to excessive heat and wear. Over time, this causes engine parts to deteriorate faster, leading to potential breakdowns.
Changing your engine oil regularly ensures there’s enough clean oil in the system to lubricate these moving parts. At Squad Workshop, we use high-quality engine oils tailored to your vehicle’s needs, providing your engine with the optimal lubrication it needs to run smoothly.
2. Temperature Control: Keep Your Engine Cool
Friction isn’t just hard on the metal; it also generates a lot of heat. Oil not only lubricates but also helps absorb and dissipate heat, keeping your engine at a stable temperature. Over time, however, oil degrades and loses its ability to cool efficiently, making it essential to replace it regularly.
Squad Workshop’s oil servicing includes a thorough system flush, removing old oil and debris to make room for fresh oil that can effectively regulate your engine’s temperature. This service ensures that your engine stays cool, even during intense driving conditions.
3. Contaminant Removal: Keep Your Engine Clean
As oil circulates, it picks up particles, dirt, and combustion by-products that can accumulate over time. These contaminants can form sludge that clogs your engine, reducing its performance and leading to mechanical issues. Regular oil changes remove these contaminants, ensuring that only clean oil is circulating in your engine.
At Squad Workshop, we offer a complete oil filter change with every service. The filter traps dirt and impurities, preventing them from reaching vital engine parts. Our team ensures that each oil change includes fresh, quality oil and a new filter to keep your engine running at peak performance.
4. Improved Fuel Efficiency
When an engine runs efficiently, it uses fuel more effectively. Sludgy, contaminated oil makes your engine work harder to perform, which leads to reduced fuel economy. Clean oil, on the other hand, reduces the strain on your engine, allowing it to operate smoothly and use less fuel.
By keeping up with oil changes at Squad Workshop, you’re not only protecting your engine but also saving money on fuel over time. Our technicians can also recommend the right oil for your vehicle to maximise fuel efficiency.
5. Prolonging Engine Life: Invest in Longevity
Regular oil changes are one of the most affordable ways to keep your car on the road longer. Clean oil reduces wear on engine components, preventing premature breakdowns and the costly repairs that come with them. Skipping oil changes may seem like a way to save money, but it often leads to expensive problems down the road, including the risk of engine failure.
At Squad Workshop, we believe that a small investment in routine oil changes can save you from significant expenses in the long run. Our team can create a personalised oil change schedule based on your car’s make, model, and usage, ensuring you get the most mileage out of your engine.
6. Compliance with Manufacturer Warranty
For newer cars, keeping up with oil changes is essential to meet warranty requirements. Many vehicle warranties specify regular oil servicing intervals; failing to follow these could void your warranty and leave you unprotected.
Squad Workshop helps you stay compliant with your manufacturer’s guidelines. We use manufacturer-recommended oils and filters, and we’ll maintain detailed records of every service, so you have peace of mind when it comes to your warranty.
