Maintains Engine Lubrication
All of the components under the hood are working hard and moving fast. These components produce a lot of heat and will wear down the engine dramatically without proper oil lubrication. Make sure that your oil levels are topped off to the correct level and you are using the correct oil for your make and model.

Cools Engine Components
Moving parts that lack proper lubrication create friction, which in turn produces heat. Maintaining clean and sufficient amounts of oil prevents too much friction, this reduces the amount of heat that the components produce.
Removes Engine Wear Particles, Dust, and Sludge.
Over time, dirt can cause corrosion and decrease the life of an engine. As time goes on, oil breaks down and turns to “sludge.” Keeping sludge and dirt out of the engine is vital to a long-lasting engine.

Improves Gas Mileage.
Poor engine lubrication can lead to increased fuel consumption, so make sure there is enough clean oil in the engine. According to a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy, routine oil changes conducted while using the right kind of oil, gas mileage can be shown to improve over time by 1-2%.
Promotes Vehicle Longevity.
Buildup from dirty oil robs a vehicle’s fuel economy, power, and wears down components faster. An engine that has to work harder will end up having more problems down the road as well as a shorter life span. A vehicle’s value is increased at the time of sale if it has had regular oil changes from day one.

I didn’t know that your vehicle may consume more fuel if the engine is not lubricated properly. My uncle has recently noticed that his car has been running out of gas more often than usual, and he would like to fix his issue before he goes on a business trip next week. Maybe he should consider getting an oil change so his car will function optimally.
