Did you know that if your average drive is just a short hop to work, or frequent, quick errands, you may need to change your engine oil more often than the average driver?

The problem is, short trips around town don’t allow your car’s engine to adequately warm up to a temperature that can burn off all the contaminants and moisture that inevitably collect inside an engine. Instead, these contaminants build up in the engine’s oil, necessitating more frequent filter and oil changes.

Don’t believe those 10,000+ mile oil change claims! They are being made by people who only want to sell you a new vehicle.
