Is it time to change the oil in your car? Over time that oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dust, dirt and debris from the engine as well as the environment. When that happens, oil can't properly do its job.The team at RM Automotive wants you to know the top reasons oil and filter changes are so important to a car's well-being. An oil change consists of removing the old oil from a vehicle's engine and replacing it with new, fresh oil. The engine oil filter is usually also changed at the same time. Automobile engines have many moving parts. As these parts move and rub against each other, the force of friction creates heat. Bring your car into RM Automotive for your next oil change. Make an appointment today at RM Automotive and let us change your oil.
