Oil helps mitigate friction between your car engine’s moving components, providing a protective layer that prevents damage caused by friction-induced heat. Oil also gathers contaminants in the form of sludge and grime as it traverses your vehicle’s system. These contaminants are caught by the oil filter, which stops them from mixing with the oil. However, as the miscellaneous particles build up over time, they can get past the filter and eventually cause dirty oil.

Dirty oil is not only less effective but can also cause permanent damage to some parts of your vehicle. Hence, regular oil and filter changes are a must.
