Maintenance
The Importance of Regular Oil Changes for Your Vehicle
By Carr Team10th March 2025
Changing your car’s oil is one of the most important aspects of regular vehicle maintenance. Oil
plays a crucial role in keeping the engine running smoothly by lubricating its components,
reducing friction, and preventing wear and tear. Over time, the oil becomes contaminated with
dirt and debris, which makes it less effective.
Why oil changes matter:
The oil in your car helps to keep the engine cool and lubricated. If the oil isn’t changed regularly,
it can lead to engine problems such as overheating or excessive wear. The oil filter also
becomes clogged over time and may not be able to remove impurities effectively. Without clean
oil, your car’s engine can be severely damaged, resulting in costly repairs.
Most vehicles require an oil change every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on the type of oil and
the car's make and model. Check your vehicle’s manual for the manufacturer’s
recommendation, or use the Carr app to set reminders for oil changes and maintenance.
How to book an oil change:
Booking an oil change is simple through the Carr app. Just enter your vehicle registration
number and find a nearby approved garage. The app will show you available appointments, so
you can easily schedule a convenient time for your service. Don’t wait until the oil has
degraded—book your oil change today and keep your car running smoothly.
