What happens if I don’t get an oil change?

Don’t play with fire, because that’s exactly what you’re doing with the life of your car if you wait too long to change your oil. Skipping oil changes, exceeding mileage or going long periods of time before your next oil change can accelerate the wear on the vital parts that keep your car running smoothly, eventually leading to premature engine breakdown. Repairing engine damage can be a big hit to your wallet, so don’t wait to get an oil change. You might regret it.
