Don’t Put Off That Oil Change
If there’s one thing we see too often at Bullock Auto World, it’s folks putting off oil changes longer than they should. And we get it—life is busy. If your car is running fine and you don’t hear any strange noises, it’s easy to assume everything’s okay. But the truth is, waiting too long for an oil change can quietly do a lot of damage under the hood.
What Oil Does for Your Engine
Your engine depends on clean oil to run properly. That oil keeps the moving parts lubricated, cuts down on friction, and helps regulate engine temperature. Over time, though, oil breaks down and starts to collect dirt, metal shavings, and other gunk from inside your engine. If it’s not changed regularly, it gets thick and sludgy, which can clog up your engine and lead to serious, expensive problems down the road.
How Often Should You Change It?
Most vehicles need an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles if they’re using conventional oil. If your car takes synthetic oil, you might be able to stretch that out to 7,500 or even 10,000 miles. But it really depends on your vehicle and how you drive. If you spend a lot of time in stop-and-go traffic around Philadelphia or take a lot of short trips, your engine may need fresh oil more often. We’re always happy to take a look and let you know what’s best for your car.
Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil
One question we get a lot is whether synthetic oil is worth it. In most cases, it is. Synthetic oil lasts longer and provides better protection, especially in extreme temperatures. Considering how hot it gets here in Mississippi during the summer, that extra protection can make a big difference. That said, we’re not going to try and sell you something you don’t need. If your vehicle runs just fine on conventional oil, and that’s what you’re comfortable with, we’ll stick with that.
More Than Just an Oil Change
At Bullock Auto World, we take oil changes seriously because we know how important they are to the life of your engine. And we don’t just drain the oil and send you on your way. Every oil change includes a full service check—we’ll look at your other fluids, belts, filters, and tires just to make sure everything else is in good shape. It’s all part of taking care of our customers the right way.

So if it’s been a while since your last oil change—or if you’re not even sure when it was—come see us at Bullock Auto World. We’ll get you taken care of quickly, and you’ll drive away with peace of mind knowing your engine is in good shape.
