Failing to Change your Car's Oil can have Catastrophic results

And now you've encountered the biggest and most damaging "I told you so" in your life. Because, you failed to change your oil and now your car's engine has seized. Even worse, you're not sure it can be fixed. And, now you wish you had paid attention to your Mom all those times she told you to take care of your things.

Topping off your oil vs. Regular Oil Change Maintenance

You've been so good at keeping your oil topped off. But, now, after your finished wandering through Hanover's Christmas Tree Wars, you returned to your car, it would not start. Sadly, the culprit wasn't a dead battery or alternator. It was a dead engine caused by your failure to ever change your oil. Instead, you had chosen to top off the oil when you found it was low. Now you're stranded in freezing weather in downtown Hanover, waiting for your car to be towed, and the bad news for the possibility and cost of replacing your engine.

"An engine can seize due to running on low/no oil, overheating or succumbing to a broken timing belt. These conditions eventually stop your engine in its tracks and a professional technician will be required to restore function," according to familyhandyman.com.

Basic Auto Oil Change can save you frustration and money in the long run.

It's a relatively easy situation to avoid. Simply keep up with your regular, basic auto maintenance. And, one of the most important chores during a bout of basic maintenance is to change the oil. That way used oil containing minute pieces that have flaked off the engine will no longer scrape the engine wall. Also, other dirt and debris will be removed in favor of clean oil. And this refreshed lubricant will allow the engine to continue moving freely.
