Regular vehicle maintenance and oil changes are important factors in extending the life of your vehicle.

3. 3. It helps keep engine parts clean and free from harmful deposits, such as soot, carbon, varnish, and sludge, by suspending contaminants and neutralizing corrosive acids.
4. 4. It prevents wear by providing a chemical cushion that prevents metal-to-metal contact.
