An oil change swaps dirty and degraded oil with fresh oil. This is essential for your engine to function properly. Clean oil whisks away dirt and debris that inhibits the functionality of your powertrain. Also, fresh oil helps to regulate your engine's temperature and lubricate the moving parts. Together, these factors ensure your powertrain isn't working in overdrive as you travel Selinsgrove streets.
