Why Regular Oil Changes Matter: Keep Your Engine Running Strong with Richman Automotive & Towing

A regular oil change is one of the most important — and affordable — maintenance services you can give your vehicle. At Richman Automotive & Towing in West Des Moines, we provide fast, reliable, and professional oil change services designed to keep your engine healthy, extend the life of your vehicle, and improve performance on the road.

Why Oil Changes Are Essential

Your engine relies on clean oil to reduce friction, regulate temperature, and protect vital components. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt, debris, and metal particles. When this happens, your engine has to work harder, which can lead to expensive repairs down the road.

Key Benefits of Routine Oil Changes

  • Better engine performance

  • Improved fuel efficiency

  • Longer engine lifespan

  • Reduced risk of breakdowns

  • Cleaner, smoother driving

How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Most vehicles need an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but it can vary based on your driving habits, the age of your vehicle, and the type of oil you use. The experts at Richman Automotive & Towing can help you determine the best oil change schedule for your specific vehicle.
