Do you really need to get a full oil change?

An oil change is a service that every car owner comes into contact with. Hence it’s the most popular service for your Orlando Toyota. However, it can be annoying to take your Orlando Toyota every couple of months for an oil change because of the time and money. You may be tempted to go and give your car an oil change by just pouring in oil.

Today, our tech experts will explain to you the reasons why you can’t just top off your engine oil with more oil when it runs out. And why getting an oil change is one of the best services you can get for your Orlando Toyota’s engine. 

Instead of changing it, can you pour more oil into your engine? 

This is a question that car owners may ask themselves a lot. But, unfortunately, the answer is no. You can’t just pour more oil into your engine compartment on top of the old oil. We’re going to give you the reasons why. 

 

  • Adding oil into your engine will give you the proper level of oil needed, so you won’t have to worry about your engine running out. However, what you want from your Orlando Toyota is the proper circulation of the oil to keep your Orlando Toyota engine running in its best condition. 

  • When oil circulates through your Orlando Toyota engine, it picks up dirt and debris over time. It can change the consistency since it’s exposed to high heat levels. This consistency can cause the flow not to be as smooth. It can lead to black sludge in your engine. 

  • So when you don’t entirely change out of oil (including the dirt and debris), you cause the chance that black sludge builds up and you cause damage to your engine.  

  • Dirty motor oil can cause issues for your Orlando Toyota, including piston rings, cylinder head valve guides, or an oil leak. Your engine could overheat and seize up.

  • If you don’t take the time to change your oil entirely, you could end up costing yourself more money in the long run. The repairs that could happen due to the wrong way of placing your oil are ultimately not worth the costly repairs.
