Why Engine Oil is So Important
Your engine oil is a crucial element to the proper function of your engine. The oil protects your engine from unnecessary strain, friction, and damage. Oil works in four primary ways:
- Removes dirt and debris: As the oil circulates through the engine, it picks up the burnt residue and dirt. This action keeps the engine clean and free of the junk that could collect in the engine and moving joints.
- Softens friction: Engine oil lubricates and coats the moving components in the engine. This action provides a layer of protection that reduces friction and prevents wear from everyday use. If an engine is not sufficiently lubricated, it may cause the components to knock against each other and damage the engine.
- Tempers intense heat: The oil serves as an outlet for the heat your engine produces. As the oil runs through the engine, it disperses the heat evenly. By spreading the heat out, it helps the engine to keep at a functional temperature. This prevents damage from overheating.
- Protects from rust and corrosion: An often overlooked benefit of an oil change is that it prevents your engine components from degrading. Without the lubrication of fresh oil, rust and corrosion can form within your engine. These hazardous components weaken the engine’s integrity, which could lead to significant damage.
Your engine oil protects your engine on multiple fronts. That’s why keeping up with a routine oil change schedule is so vital for every driver.
Regular Oil Changes Every 3,000 Miles Saves Your Vehicle’s Engine
Industry experts advise an oil change for most cars every 3,000 miles or every three months. There are other factors that affect this, such as your driving habits, the mileage on your car, and the area you live in.
Our ASE-certified oil change specialists will help you set up a schedule for regular oil changes that meet your needs. That service can be combined with your other maintenance appointments to save you time.
Oil changes protect your engine by:
- Clearing out dirt and debris
- Redistributing and absorbing excess heat buildup
- Protecting the engine from rust and corrosion
- Providing a layer of oil over all parts of the engine
Most cars and trucks today are being driven longer than those in the past. This affects the type of oil that is used in your vehicle. Vehicles with more than 75,000 miles can last when a high-mileage blend of oil is used.
You can be sure that your engine is being given the best protection possible with a Valvoline oil change at Ramona Tire & Service Centers in Ontario.

Why You Need an Oil Change Service
Like many components in your vehicle, the engine oil has a limited lifespan. As the oil collects dirt and engine gunk, it runs through the oil filter to remove it from the engine. Over time, the dirt and debris saturate the oil filter. Once dirty oil starts circulating through the engine, it will cause friction and lead to inefficient running.
In addition to the dirt and engine gunk, the oil will begin to break down over time. Once it begins to decay, the oil is no longer effective at lubricating the engine and needs to be replaced. If the old oil is left in the engine, it will place extra strain on the engine and lead to permanent damage.
Removing the old oil and replacing it with fresh, clean oil is a simple way to keep your engine running optimally. An oil change helps keep everything moving and operating as it should.
Signs your car may need an oil change
You can easily check the oil yourself in between regular maintenance appointments at Ramona Tire. These are some indicators that it’s time for an oil change and fresh oil filter:
- Flecks on the dipstick
- Darker than normal oil
- Low oil level on the dipstick
- Unusual or loud noises
- The “check engine” light is on
It’s easy to ignore the signs but don’t wait. Damage may be happening to your engine out of sight. Call Ramona Tire right away!

Ontario Oil Change FAQs
Why is regular oil change service so important for any vehicle?
Most car owners are aware of the importance of regular oil changes and oil filter changes. Some experts go so far as to say that this one action is more important than any other. The question is why?
A car engine is an intricate system of metal components working together. The oil and its filter keep dirt and debris from reaching the working parts of the engine. Clean oil lubricates the system and all its parts and prevents metal-against-metal grinding. There is also a normal amount of heat that builds up in the engine and clean oil absorbs and redirects the excess heat. Dirty oil no longer has that ability, so the heat simply builds up in the engine. Overheating is the result.

Conventional oil or synthetic oil? Which is best?
Conventional oil is derived from refined crude oil. It’s greatest advantage for car owners is the lower cost. It is also available in a wide range of viscosity grades and quality levels.
Conventional oil flows more slowly than synthetic oils so it offers more protection to engines with 75,000 miles or more. But conventional oils wear and experience chemical degradation in harsh conditions like lower temperatures.
Synthetic oil is chemically engineered, using synthetic oil as a base and then adding chemicals like polyalphaolefin, castor waxes, and paraffinic oils. One result of this process is an oil with few impurities that also performs better in extreme weather.
Synthetic motor oil, through its additives, provides better engine protection against corrosion and rusting. This makes it ideal for high-performance engines as well as cars that are used primarily for short trips. Finally, synthetics also offer longer intervals between oil changes than conventional oils, often up to 15,000 miles.
Can I change the oil myself?
The easy answer is yes, you can. In reality, though, it may turn out to be more than you bargained for. It tends to be a messy, risky, and inconvenient job to do at home. Having the right tools at home is sometimes an issue. Access to the pan bolt and oil filter alone can prove to be more difficult than anticipated. Plus, a DIY mechanic may cross-thread the filter, use the wrong oil, or overlook a leak.Getting under the vehicle without the equipment used at your local auto shop is not only uncomfortable, it is also dangerous. Properly disposing of the old oil must be considered, too.

Does the oil filter need to be changed every time the oil is changed?
It is good practice to change the oil filter every time the oil is changed. This allows the “team” of the oil and its filter to perform its best at all times.
