An oil change will increase the durability of the engine of the car. It will be in a good condition for longer. The benefits include cooling of the engine, proper lubrication of the vehicle, takes care of the wear of the engine parts and increases the gas mileage.

Changing the oil in your car is something that any DIYer can do. Although changing the oil might appear rather simple, there are still a lot of people that get  it wrong, making it an ugly task. An oil change is the most important task one can do to make an engine last.

What's funny—in the aggravating, drive-you-crazy way—is that you can even bring your car into a dealership to get an oil change, and a worker there will put the same 3,000-mile warning sticker on your car, knowing full well that the vehicle in question only needs oil changes every 5,000 or 6,000 miles.
