At Crown Car Care in Palm City & Stuart, FL, we recommend always making it a priority to change your oil on time. Here’s a look into why it’s so important, and what happens if you don’t keep up with oil changes.

Sludge - If oil stays in an engine too long, sludge begins to build up anywhere oil can go. The oil absorbs tiny debris and contaminants, kind of like a liquid sponge - once it’s at capacity, that oil begins to stick, clog, and build up throughout the engine. Small veins that carry oil to components like actuators, turbos, and bearings will become blocked, starving critical components of oil and causing component or engine failure.

Your drivetrain is where most of the process of moving your vehicle occurs.

At Crown Car Care in Palm City & Stuart, FL, our drivetrain specialists are well equipped to keep your car, truck, or SUV reliably on the road and running smoothly along.
