Engine Oil
Using the proper oil, and regularly checking, adding, and changing oil will
help extend your engine’s life. Even the best oil wears out. Changing oil
helps get rid of dirt and deposits held in the engine. Operating the engine
with old or dirty oil can damage your engine. Running the engine with
insucient oil can cause serious damage to the engine and transmission.
