Don’t Wait—Your Engine’s Trying to Tell You Something
Oil is your engine’s lifeblood. Skipping oil changes may seem like no big deal, but it can lead to overheating, wear, and expensive repairs. At Jiffy Lube Champaign, we help you stay ahead of the problem. Watch for these five red flags—it might be time to pull in for a quick oil change.
1. Oil Light Is On
If your oil light is glowing, your engine is alerting you—it’s time for service.
2. Engine Noise or Knocking
Dirty oil loses its ability to lubricate. If your engine sounds rough, don’t wait.
3. Dark, Dirty Oil
Fresh oil is amber and clear. If yours is black and gritty, it’s overdue for a change.
4. Exhaust Smoke
Blue or gray smoke could mean oil is burning—schedule a service ASAP.
5. It’s Been Too Long
If you can’t remember your last oil change, it’s probably time. Aim for every 3,000–5,000 miles or as recommended by your vehicle’s manual.
