IL: What Is the Risk of High Oil Change Intervals?Posted March 12, 2023 11:44 AMIL residents may have heard that vehicles don't need their oil changed as often as they used to. That's true. But it's not the whole story. When a vehicle only makes trips under four miles/six kilometers, or under 10 miles/16 kilometers in freezing conditions, the engine doesn't get warm enough for condensation in the oil to evaporate. The result? You get oil sludge build-up. If your driving patterns are the same as any of the conditions that count as severe, you should be changing your oil more frequently under the severe conditions schedule. When it comes to oil changes, a little information can go a long way to helping people save money and extend the life of their vehicles. Stay safe, and stay on the road. McPherson Automotive
