Find out about the Downsides

If you're not great at keeping up with your vehicle's synthetic oil changes on your own, then perhaps finding out more about the downsides of neglecting this basic maintenance task will convince you of its importance and will encourage you to be more responsible with them. For starters, you should understand what it is that the oil does. It basically provides a protective film so that the engine's moving components won't generate as much friction when they move. This means that, thanks to the oil, the engine can have a longer lifespan, and perform smoothly. But, with some time and use, the oil starts to become ineffective: it starts picking up dirt that filters through to the engine, it becomes thinner because of the high temperatures, and more. This can increase your vehicle's temperature, stress out the engine, and accelerate the wear and tear of its components (damaging them, affecting their performance, and rendering your engine useless). And, as you may know, repairing or replacing an engine isn't a cheap endeavor, so there's also that to consider. Change the oil every once in a while to prevent all of these downsides and become a better vehicle-owner.

Learn More

It's not only responsible for you to know why you should get regular synthetic oil changes for your engine, but also how often you should get them done and how you should go about it. That's why, it is necessary that you research, research, research. While you research online, you will find a lot of generic information, such as that you have to get your synthetic oil changed every 3,000 miles. However, this isn't true for every vehicle. In fact, the number of miles depends on how you use the vehicle, how old it is, among other variables. For that reason, it is recommended that you search for accurate information. For example, you should read your vehicle's owner's manual thoroughly to find out what kind of oil it needs, how often you should change it, how you can do it, and more. You may even pay a reliable mechanic a visit. They're experts in the field, and they'll likely be able to give you specific tips on how to go about the synthetic oil changes, and how to better care for your vehicle in general. Plus, you can take advantage of your time there to give your vehicle a professional inspection.

Get Reminded of Them

If your main problem isn't so much that you don't care about or don't want to spend money on your vehicle's synthetic oil changes, but that you truly forget to get them done, you should seek for ways to get reminded of them. Nowadays, there's a slew of possibilities that you can try to stay on track of this crucial maintenance task. For example, if you share your vehicle (with a spouse or another family member), you should also share the responsibility of remembering and performing the synthetic oil replacements. It's recommended that you also write each oil change you perform down on a notebook so you can keep track of them effectively. Just be sure to write the date and how many oil bottles you used as well. If you don't want to rely on your own memory (or someone else's), you can also set up an alarm on your smartphone. You can set the alarm for the date of the next replacement (be sure to label the alarm so there's no confusion). This way, when it goes off months later, you'll now it's high time for an oil replacement. Last but not least, you can probably turn to the auto repair shop where you get the replacements done. More often than not, they'll have an app or another service that will notify you whenever your engine is due some new oil. Get signed up for that service so you don't miss another synthetic oil change again.
