If you're as in tune with your vehicle as some owners can be, you may notice the slightest changes in your engine. For instance, you may recognize a more sluggish on-the-road performance on a drive out to Salisbury, MA, or any unusual noises from under the hood on the back roads to Newburyport. While there are various reasons your car, truck, or SUV may seem a little off, it's possible these issues can be resolved quickly and easily by getting an oil change. Read on to see if any more of these signs may apply to you.
Possible Oil Change Indicators:
- Your Engine is Knocking or Vibrating Abnormally: If you're driving on I-495 from Haverhill to Amesbury and start to feel your engine vibrate or notice it even more at a stop light, it may be time for an oil change.
- Dirty or Dark Oil: If you notice your oil is dark and not transparent and has lost most of its viscosity, make an appointment to have it changed.
- Odor of Oil or Exhaust Smoke: Whether you see smoke from your exhaust, smell oil burning outside your vehicle after a long drive from Methuen to Exeter, or notice a slight scent of it on the inside, take your vehicle in for service immediately.
- Additional or Excess Milage Have you traveled more miles outside Seabrook, NH, or beyond lately? If so, add up your miles since you may need an oil change sooner than usual.
- Illuminated Oil Warning Light on Dash: This indicator is more of an obvious sign, but if your oil light indicator is shining, don't ignore it— get your oil changed as soon as you can.
