Why are oil changes so important?

Getting regular oil changes is one of the best things you can do to protect your engine. However, oil changes get a bad rap in the car maintenance department. Many car owners have an oil change reminder sticker on their windshield and dread it when their miles creep up to the next needed appointment. When you get your Mazda Oil Change in Rochester MN at the Rochester Mazda Service Center, we make it a priority to provide quick and hassle-free maintenance so there is no stress involved.
While a lot of those trusty oil change stickers still state to come back for a new oil change every 3.000 miles, it's probably not necessary, especially with a newer car. The best way to gauge your oil change interval is to take a look at your owner's manual. It should tell you how often your model can go between changes. It should also tell you which oil type, conventional, synthetic or blend, is the best fit for your engine.
