Changing the engine oil is an important part of car maintenance. Oil plays an important role in lubricating all the major components of your car and maintaining the necessary temperature. Going through this reason, it is necessary to ensure its cleanliness and free from getting contaminated. To protect the oil from getting dirty and contaminated, there is an oil filter that stops the dirty and other particles from moving into the oil tank and allows the clean oil to move through the engine and other parts. But as other parts of your car survive for a fixed time, the same happens with the oil filter. It also stops working and gets clogged due to regular exposure to dust particles.

Finally resulting in the failure of the engine. If you notice any sign of oil leakage below your car, don’t ignore it and get the reason detected and rectified by an expert technician.

 

When to Change the Oil? This depends upon the brand and the manufacturer of your car. Every car manufacturer determines a period to replace the oil and filter of his car. However, depending on your driving kilometres you might need to replace the oil before its expiry period.
