Oil and filter change: why it is the most important service

24 March 2026

3 min read

By the Pinchazos Vargas team

In short

Oil lubricates and protects the engine, and it loses its properties with use. Changing oil and filters according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule prevents breakdowns and improves the vehicle’s performance.

Why it matters

Degraded oil protects engine parts less well and increases wear. Filters trap impurities that, if they reach the engine, eventually cause breakdowns.

How often?

It depends on the vehicle, the type of oil and how it is used. The reference is the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. If you don’t have it to hand, we can look it up for you at the workshop.

A complete check

We use the oil change to check fluids and other key components. It is the basis of our preventive maintenance service.
