Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your Audi. Just as shoe, nail, and brick manufacturing became the lifeblood of Bridgewater in the mid 1600s oil acts as the lifeblood of your engine, lubricating its moving parts, reducing friction, and preventing overheating. If you spend time driving throughout all of Bridgewater visiting all the great history sites, you’ll end up needing an oil change at some point and if you don’t get it taken care of, you’ll end up with your Audi costing you much more for repairs.
Signs It’s Time For An Oil Change
As you drive around, to and from work or just out for a weekend getaway, you might notice an oil can light or something similar come on on your dashboard. While this light can signal a variety of issues, it often comes on when your oil level is low or the oil is too dirty to properly lubricate the engine. You’ll want to stop and check out the reasoning behind the light to make sure it isn’t that you have too low of oil and just need an oil change – and then promptly get it fixed.
You could also notice unusual noises such as knocking, rattling, or tapping sounds, which could be a sign that the oil is no longer performing its job effectively. Old or dirty oil loses its ability to properly lubricate the engine, leading to increased friction between metal parts. You might feel more annoyed than anything by the sound, but if you don’t get them checked out you could find yourself with much bigger problems.
Another clear sign that your Audi needs an oil change is a noticeable decrease in engine performance. While you are trying to zip through Bridgewater, you might find that you are trying to stop and look at more of our sites here than usual. And while doing that, if your car is struggling to accelerate, idling roughly, or experiencing a lack of power, it may be because your engine oil is too old or dirty. No one wants to be trying to get to the Fun Factory and find that their Audi is bogged down!
What If You Don’t Change Your Oil?
Not changing your oil can keep you from enjoying any of the sites and parks – and more. You’ll end up sitting in a shop, finding out whether or not you’ve done bigger damage to your vehicle! Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine, reducing friction, and preventing overheating. Over time, the oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt, debris, and metal particles. When you continue driving with old, dirty oil, it loses its ability to lubricate effectively, causing increased friction between metal parts. You can find yourself stuck without a vehicle for a much longer time while repairs get done – so we suggest coming in for a quick oil change instead.
