Extended Oil Changes Are a Bad Idea

Here at Russ Darrow Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of West Bend, one of our many goals is to advise our customers on how to get the most out of the engine to achieve peak reliability and fuel economy. We like to remind our customers about the known risks of extended oil changes defined as driving beyond the manufacturer’s recommended oil change interval. Our customers can rest assured that extended oil changes are a bad idea and there are vast benefits of following the manufacturer’s recommendation for your vehicle’s oil change interval.

Oil Change Intervals are Universal Best Practice

All Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram models with combustion engines have a recommended engine oil and specified change interval that is best followed if the owner wants to realize the proven benefits of following the recommended oil change schedule. When you choose to get oil changes at the recommended mileage, you are choosing to get the most out of the engine for as long as possible with peak performance, efficiency, and reliability along the way.

Benefits of Routine Oil Changes vs. Risks of Extended Changes

The benefits of following the recommended oil change schedule stand in contrast to the proven risks of extended mileage oil changes:

• Optimal engine lubrication (risk – poor lubrication)
• Operation at the ideal temperature (risk – engine overheating)
• Maximum fuel efficiency (risk – poor fuel mileage)
• Smoother engine firing and quieter operation (risk – rough idling and noisy operation)
• Prevention of wear and tear (risk – excessive wear and tear)
• Extended engine life (risk – shorter engine life)
• Reduced operational costs (risk –damages, repairs, and increased operational cost)
