Engine oil serves two key purposes for your car: it lubricates its various parts and
prevents harmful substances from building up inside its engine, as well as acts as an
anticorrosive shield against wear-and-tear damage.
Coggin Chevrolet at The Avenues provides high mileage motor oil specifically
tailored for vehicles that have exceeded 75,000 miles on them. This helps lower oil
consumption, minimize leakage and emissions as well as cut oil consumption
overall.
Engine Lubrication
As you drive, engine oil lubricates moving parts in order to reduce friction between
different components, leading to increased fuel efficiency and performance as well
as protection from dirt and debris accumulation.
Oil changes are among the most essential maintenance services you can perform for
your vehicle, yet they can often be tedious tasks. However, it’s crucial that they
happen on time to avoid engine trouble and costly repairs down the line.
Your Equinox features an engine oil life system to help notify you when it’s time for
an oil change, which displays “Change Engine Oil Soon” on your dashboard.
Although not mandatory, changing oil soon would be wise.
Fuel Efficiency
Motor oil helps reduce friction, improve fuel efficiency, prevent engine wear, and
lower temperature of engine to allow it to run more smoothly and for longer.
Many people believe it’s essential to change your oil every 3,000 miles or so,
however thanks to advances in technology this no longer needs to be the case – your
Chevy Equinox could last much longer between oil changes!
At Coggin Chevrolet at the Avenues, we provide high mileage motor oil that’s
tailored specifically for vehicles with over 75,000 miles on them. This type of oil
helps reduce oil consumption, prevent leaks, reduce smoke emissions and help
extend vehicle lifespan – an excellent solution for older cars! Please consult your
owner’s manual when scheduling an oil change service appointment.
Engine Performance
Your engine is an intricate machine, and regular oil changes are vital in maintaining
it in top shape. Motor oil lubricates parts to reduce friction between them and
improve performance; additionally, it collects debris to avoid build-up that could
otherwise lead to engine failure.
Oil changes also help prevent your engine from knocking. When pistons hit together
too forcefully, power and efficiency is lost, leading to decreased performance and
efficiency. By stopping hard hitting pistons from colliding too frequently with each
other, oil stops them from hitting so hard – and can help your engine avoid
overheating as well.
Your Chevrolet dealer utilizes a computerized Engine Oil Life System to determine
when you should get an oil change, taking into account various factors, including
weather and driving patterns.
Prevents Engine Knocking
Engine oil keeps exciting engine components such as pistons from coming into
contact, helping prevent friction and damage, while at the same time cooling it by
carrying away heat when circulated throughout.
Use only high mileage motor oil in your 2018 Equinox to maximize wear-resistance
and fuel economy. High mileage oil has been designed specifically to prevent wear-and-tear, providing added fuel efficiency benefits as well.
Some drivers put off oil changes either to save money or because they believe they
don’t require one, but with an Equinox equipped with Engine Oil Life System you’ll
know when it’s time for an oil change based on real world factors such as driving
distance and speed – not simply mileage alone! This system helps drivers keep on
top of their maintenance needs while increasing resale value of their vehicle.
Keeps the Engine Clean
Your Equinox engine oil keeps all its moving parts lubricated while also taking away
heat, carrying away contaminants, washing away sludge, and reducing friction. Over
time however, its integrity will deteriorate and need replacing – this may require
frequent visits to your service department.
As your mileage increases, so will its wear and tear, making routine service
especially essential to keeping up with. Routine service helps prevent build-ups of
dirt and grime that could compromise performance and fuel economy.
If your SUV has reached 7,500 miles, it’s time for an oil change. Set an appointment
and our technicians will take great care in replenishing fluid levels while inspecting
other vital components like windshield wipers and suggesting the appropriate 5W-30 Dexos1 full synthetic engine oil type for you.
