Conventional Oil Change

Conventional Oil Change Service

During an oil change, our Honda certified technicians will drain the existing oil and refill it with fresh, clean conventional oil. In some situations, you may also need to have the oil filter replaced. The technician will usually show you the filter and ask if you want to replace it at the time of the oil change. All Hondas come with a manufacturer recommendation as to how often the oil should be changed, which is typically indicated by the number of miles you put on the vehicle. For instance, the manufacturer may recommend the oil be changed every 3000 miles, which means you can generally expect the oil to last in between changes. Most vehicles are safe to go a little over the recommended mileage, but waiting too long may cause damage to the engine.

Benefits of Conventional Oil

Conventional oil is crude oil been distilled and refined. Crude oil is a fossil fuel that contains carbon and hydrogen compounds found in nature. Crude oil is usually found in places such as tar sands and an underground reservoir. When most people think of oil for their vehicle, they usually associate it with conventional oil. There are both advantages and disadvantages to using conventional oil; however, the benefits generally outweigh the disadvantages. In most situations, Honda manufacturers recommend a conventional oil change in Palm Bay.

Never Neglect Changing Your Oil

One of the most important reasons to routinely change the oil is because it lubricates the moving parts within the engine. Over time, the oil loses its viscosity and will fail to properly lubricate, which can cause moving parts to seize, and may ultimately lead to the engine itself seizing, preventing you from driving the vehicle. If the oil is low or it loses its lubricating properties it also will not provide protection against corrosion and will not effectively clean the deposits from inside the engine. Oil plays a critical role in reducing friction between metal parts, so if the oil is dirty, it loses its ability to provide a barrier between the parts.
