Cars need oil. If you have ever doubted the fact that every car currently on the market needs oil at some point, consider what happens when metal rubs against metal for any length of time. The effects are many things, but pretty and enjoyable are not among this group of descriptors. Overall, having your car properly oiled up will save you all kinds of issues down the line, though it will create other issues.

Unfortunately, nothing in this world is perfect. You will also have to do some other things in addition to changing your oil. You also need to check your belts, your tires, and make sure everything else in your car is moving when it should and staying fixed in position if that’s its role in life. However, if you don’t make sure your oil is changed up about every 3,000 miles, you won’t have to worry about problems of this nature.

For starters, without oil your engine will eventually stop working. And while it might be possible to rebuild it at considerable expense, your car will never be the same if you shirk this basic and critical need. Avoiding changing your oil is almost as dumb as avoiding brushing your teeth, and will result in a similar loss of functionality and the respect of other people. In short, if you want to be anybody in this world, you need to change your oil with reasonable frequency. Otherwise, you’ll end up doing yourself a horrible disservice and abusing your car.
