Few automotive services provide as much value as a regular oil change. For a reasonable price every 3,000 – 5,000 miles, an oil change done at Sansone Mazda ensures that your Mazda car’s most important part – the engine – is always in prime condition.

A Mazda engine is a sophisticated machine comprised of numerous parts. Just like your car’s battery is integral to the electrical system, oil is the lifeblood that the engine in your 2018 Mazda3 near Union, NJ requires to run properly. One of oil’s primary function is as a lubricant, ensuring that friction is minimized when all the engine’s parts are rubbing against each other. Another essential role played by oil is that of a “heat collector.” Without oil, an engine will overheat and could, theoretically, completely break down.

This heat-collecting role comes with a price, however. As time passes, the carbon, dirt, dust, and varnish that intermingle with the heat emitted by the engine will gradually solidify your car’s oil, converting it from a viscous liquid to something more like sludge. Left unattended, this sludge will clog the engine, causing it to work harder to accomplish tasks that were much easier with fresh oil. Pistons begin wearing out, gas mileage decreases, harmful emissions increase, and the engine starts overheating. Avoiding these issues is simple: visit our local Mazda dealership and get your oil changed every 3,000 – 5,000 miles.

Several factors influence exactly when an oil change is needed. How much you drive, what kind of oil you use, and your driving style all play a role. Our team will give you some useful pointers on these subjects – just set your smartphone navigation to “Mazda service center near me” and stop in today for a consultation!
