Oil Change Importance

An engine with little or no wear may get by on 7,500 mile oil changes, but as an engine accumulates miles, blow-by increases, and dumps more unburned fuel into the crankcase (which dilutes the oil), causing accelerated wear and engine problems. This includes loss of performance and fuel economy as well as increased emissions and oil consumption. For peak performance, you’ll want your vehicle to have regular oil changes. Santa Cruz Toyota provides this essential service to all of our clients, and no one knows your vehicle better.

When determining when to schedule your next oil change, we suggest taking this into consideration: how you drive, the condition and age of the engine, the external environment you drive in, and the amount of stop-and-go versus highway driving. If you are unsure, feel free to ask a technician at our dealership.

What is known is that regularly changing your oil is crucial for vehicle health. Due to the high operating temperatures of the engines, oil goes through thermal breakdowns, becoming less effective as a lubricant. When the oil stops lubricating, parts of the engine rub together and wear each other out, leading to costly repairs and replacements.

Each of our oil changes is performed by trained technicians using factory parts at competitive prices.
