April Car Care Series: The Most Important Task You Do for Our Car
Let’s talk about the one thing that keeps your car running smoothly and prevents a whole lot of headaches—getting your oil changed on time! Previously oil changes might not be the most exciting thing on your to-do list but it’s the most important. You can look forward to your oil changes at Girls Auto Clinic because you know you’ll get our nails done at the same time.
Why is an Oil Change Such a Big Deal?
While many mechanics compare an engine to a heart, your favorite mechanic in heels believes thinking of an engine like a vagina is a great way to teach people, especially women, the purpose of engine oil and why it is necessary to have oil running through your engine at all times!
There are several fast moving metal parts inside of your engine. The harder you push on the gas pedal the faster those parts inside of the engine spin and move. What do we know about fast moving parts sliding up against each other? They need lubrication to run at their best. Oil lubricates the engine, prevents overheating, and keeps everything running smoothly. Without it, your engine can seize up, overheat, and stop working altogether. And guess what? An engine replacement isn’t cheap—it can cost $5,000 or more! Compare that to a $75–$100 oil change, and the choice is pretty clear.
The Best Investment for Your Car
An oil change isn’t just about the oil. Every time you take your car in for one, your mechanic—what we like to call your PCT (Primary Care Technician)—gives your car a check-up. They look at all the vitals, making sure everything is in good shape. This is how you catch small problems before they turn into big, expensive ones.
Waiting too long between oil changes is where things start to go downhill. Dirty or low oil doesn’t protect your engine the way fresh oil does, which means you’re slowly damaging your car every time you drive.
Stop Pushing It Off!
We’re all guilty of pushing off our oil changes. Life gets busy, and it’s easy to ignore that little reminder light. But a Shecanic knows better! If your car manual says you need an oil change every 5,000 miles, don’t wait until 6,000 miles. Get it done at 4,999 or sooner. It’s a small task that makes a huge difference in how long your car lasts and how well it runs.
Taking care of your car doesn’t have to be overwhelming. A little attention now can save you thousands of dollars down the road. And remember, a Shecanic always stays ahead of the game—so schedule that oil change today!
