Don't Delay Getting Your Oil Changed at Sterling Kia

We carry many reliable models from top automakers at Sterling Kia, but they all need routine service. There are several services your vehicle needs to ensure it keeps driving optimally around New Iberia. One service we highly recommend that you get is an oil change at our Lafayette location.

Purpose of Oil

Engine oil serves several purposes, one of which is to keep the engine parts clean and lubricated. However, the engine oil can get clogged with debris and sludge over time as you ride around Youngsville. This is especially important in Louisiana when the weather cools because oil can thicken faster and slow your vehicle's performance.

It keeps the engine from overheating, so letting it go too long without servicing puts you at risk of engine malfunction. Modern synthetic oil provides much more protection, such as preventing corrosion and lasts much longer.

Signs Your Oil Needs Changing

One sign you will notice if your oil needs changing is you pay more at the gas pump in Abbeville. Some other signs your oil needs service include burning smells, dark oil, trouble changing gears, engine knocking, and exhaust. If you smell burning oil or your engine gets too hot, pull over to safety and let the vehicle cool.

Modern vehicles often have a check engine sensor that illuminates a symbol on the dashboard when it's time for service. Don't keep driving very long with the check engine on; get it inspected at our service center immediately.
