In the driver’s seat of progress, Jiffy Lube is steering a new conversation about oil change intervals. Today’s engines are smarter, sleeker, and more sophisticated than ever before. But with great sophistication comes great responsibility—especially when it comes to car care. It’s time to shift gears and ask ourselves: With most newer cars consuming oil, are we sticking to a maintenance schedule that’s a relic of the past?
Changing the Landscape of Car Engine Maintenance
Under the gleaming hoods of modern cars lie engines that result from years of innovation designed to maximize every drop of fuel. However, as we aim for efficiency, we often see an uptick in oil consumption.It’s a complex dance of technology and physics leading to a new truth: car engine maintenance is evolving and requires a fresh look at how we maintain them.
The Oil Change Interval Debate: Beyond the Odometer
Just how often should you change your oil? Gone are the days of the 5000-kilometre oil change mantra. Synthetic oils and advancements in engine design have promised us longer oil change intervals. However, these intervals don’t account for the individual quirks of our cars. High-performance engines, turbocharged cruisers, and stop-start city hoppers might all call for a different kind of care. It’s not just about how many kilometres you drive but how you drive them.
Interpreting Your Oil Life Monitoring System
Your car’s Oil Life Monitoring System predicts when to change your oil based on how the engine operates—not on the oil’s actual level. This distinction is crucial. A readout might suggest a healthy oil life remaining, but it can be misleading if the oil level is low, which may lead to increased engine temperatures and accelerated wear. That’s why at Jiffy Lube, we remind you that this technology is a tool, not the whole toolkit. We’re here to help you understand and use this feature to your advantage, ensuring you never wind up running on empty.
