Oil changes are a fast and easy type of preventive maintenance. However, they’re also critically important to the well-being of every car, including Mitsubishi models. Let us show you how this basic procedure can allow you to drive your car around Oklahoma City for as long as possible. Then, if you have any other questions about your specific Mitsubishi model, contact us at David Stanley Mitsubishi and we’ll gladly help you.
The Importance of Oil Changes
Why do you even need to worry about oil and refreshing it? Keep in mind that a vehicle’s powertrain has many parts that move at high speeds to propel your Mitsubishi forward along Interstate 35. Not only does this process generate heat, but it also causes wear on the components. This lubricant coats engine parts ensuring that they do not overheat or suffer as much damage during normal operation. The fluid also picks up impurities and runs them through a filter so they do not affect the engine. Getting an oil change at our Service Department ensures your vehicle has the proper amount of fluid to perform the aforementioned tasks, boosting your car’s longevity and reducing the chances that your engine suffers a catastrophic failure.
Warning Signs
Vehicles will operate differently when they need to be serviced. One of the first signs that you need to change the oil in your vehicle is hearing a ticking sound coming from under the hood as you pull into Stars and Stripes Park. You may also hear clunking or grinding sounds if the lubricant is dangerously low. It’s possible that you’ll experience your Mitsubishi model overheating or even smell burning oil. If you check the car’s oil level using the engine dipstick, you’ll see that the amount of fluid in the motor is below the recommended level. One or more of these signs may indicate that it’s time to have your car services.
Synthetic vs Conventional Fluids
When you pull into our dealership, you’ll be offered a few different choices for lubricant. The two most common options are conventional and synthetic oil. Conventional fluids are refined from crude oil, but the synthetic options are manufactured. Conventional lubricant is lower in cost than synthetic, but it comes with the drawback that it does not last as long in your vehicle’s engine. That means you’ll have to get this fluid changed more frequently compared to synthetic. While the manufactured fluid will last longer and lead to fewer repair trips, it’s also more expensive. If you need help choosing the right oil, our team of service experts will gladly recommend the product that will work best for your Outlander. Come visit us at David Stanley Mitsubishi the next time you need this form of maintenance performed by experienced technicians!
