Why Does My Toyota Need an Oil Change?

We know that bringing your Toyota in for an oil change every 3,000 miles can get annoying, but it's a vital service. See, the moving metal parts in your engine need lubrication. Otherwise, the friction they produce would cause massive damage. Engine oil is what provides this lubrication, but it doesn't last forever. In particular, conventional oil doesn't do well with the high heat of your engine's combustion process, so it will break down over time, leaving sludge in the engine and becoming less effective at lubricating the engine. If you go too long without changing the oil, you'll be dealing with major engine damage.
