The engine is the heart of your vehicle, and clean oil is its lifeblood. Motor oil performs several vital functions, including lubricating moving parts, reducing friction, and drawing heat away from the engine block. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt and debris, which can lead to increased wear and decreased fuel efficiency. Consistent maintenance is the most effective way to ensure your engine runs smoothly for many years to come.
Many drivers in Southern California face harsh driving conditions that accelerate the need for fresh oil.
