Lube, Oil, Filter

Regular vehicle maintenance and oil changes are necessary in extending the life of your vehicle. For the best performance, we recommend that you change your oil and filter every three months or 4,800 kilometres in vehicles with gasoline engines.

Engine oil provides the following functions vital to an engine's health:

• Lubricates moving parts inside the engine by providing a protective film that allows them to move freely.
• Cools the engine by transferring excess heat from the combustion area down into the oil pan.
• It keeps engine parts clean and free from harmful deposits, such as soot, carbon, varnish, and sludge, by suspending contaminants and neutralizing corrosive acids.
• Prevents wear by providing a chemical cushion that prevents metal-to-metal contact.
• Provides a seal between the engine's piston rings and cylinder walls to prevent blow-by and loss of power.
