Helping Drivers Stay Ahead of Trouble
In the featured article, Express Auto contributed insights on five early red flags that your vehicle may need an oil change:
Dark or dirty oil: Over time, engine oil becomes contaminated with dirt and debris, losing its effectiveness.
Engine knocking or rumbling noises: When oil loses its lubricating properties, it causes increased friction between moving parts.
Oil change or check engine dashboard lights: These lights are your car’s way of saying something is wrong—don’t ignore them.
Visible exhaust smoke: Especially blue or gray smoke, which may signal that oil is leaking into the engine.
High mileage since last service: Following the manufacturer’s recommended intervals is key to maintaining a healthy engine.
These signs often go unnoticed until damage is already happening. That’s why Express Auto stresses the importance of preventative maintenance.
