Conventional Oil Change

Ford Conventional Oil Change in Hazelwood, MO

If you drive a vehicle with an internal combustion engine (which is nearly every Ford model), oil changes are simply a part of life. While there’s no shortage of quick-lube oil change places around the St. Louis Metro Area, Bommarito Ford Superstore is the better choice for you and your Ford. Find out more about our conventional oil change service here, and then make the short drive from Florissant or Bridgeton to get an oil change.

What Does Engine Oil Do?

The internal combustion engine at the heart of your Ford includes metal components that move very quickly. Oil is what keeps these parts from becoming damaged when your engine is turned on. Quality oil in good condition provides lubrication for your engine, combatting the dangerous effects of friction. But over time, the oil loses its ability to lubricate as effectively. The high operating temperature of the engine breaks the oil down, making it less effective. This is why regular oil changes are necessary. Without the oil in good condition, your engine will be insufficiently lubricated and can suffer friction damage.

How Often Should I Have My Oil Changed?

It’s important to get oil changes at the recommended intervals. Your engine may not suddenly fail if you go a thousand miles over the recommended oil change interval, but that doesn’t mean everything is OK, either. Since it lubricates and cleans your engine, the oil can also reduce engine wear. Driving with oil that’s too old can shorten your engine’s lifespan, even if you don’t see it immediately. While synthetic oil can last longer, we recommend getting an oil change about every 3,000 miles if you use conventional oil.
