Oil Change and Tire Rotation Denton
Oil Change In Denton
An oil change is one of the most basic and important parts of car maintenance, ensuring that a car continues to operate smoothly in all types of weather. Motorists who fail to consistently get their vehicles’ oil changed consistently run the risk of ruining their engine and incurring severe costs.
What Does an Oil Change Do For My Car?
Oil is the primary lubricant in a car engine, helping the different pistons, valves, and other engine components operate smoothly. It also helps to cool down the different engine components, while simultaneously improving gas mileage. Old oil turns into sludge and becomes filled with dirt, dust, and other corrosive particles that can ruin an engine. Consistent oil changes allow fresh oil to continue to perform its vital duties and prevent corrosive particles to build up and damage an engine.

A tire rotation is another important part of car maintenance, often being neglected by the average car owner. However, it is just as vital to the operation of a vehicle as an oil change. providing several different benefits.
What is a Tire Rotation?
A tire rotation involves repositioning the tires in a vehicle in a specific pattern, usually from front to back. In other cases, tires may be repositioned from side to side, depending on the make, model, or vehicle type.
Why Do I Need to Get a Tire Rotation?
In most vehicles, the front tires wear out much faster than the rear tires. As a result, the front tires should be rotated to the back and the rear tires to the front. This rotation will improve the performance of a vehicle by making sure that all tires have a similar amount of wear on them. Failing to rotate tires can result in blowouts, increased wear on the engine, less fuel efficiency, and decreased tire traction.
