What are the signs I am overdue for an oil change?

The clearest signs you are overdue for an oil change include a lit oil or check engine light, dark and gritty oil on the dipstick, louder engine noise or knocking, and a burning oil smell. You may also notice exhaust smoke, a drop in fuel economy, or oil that feels thick and sludgy instead of smooth and amber. In Miami's heat, oil degrades faster, so these symptoms can appear sooner than expected. Driving on old, broken-down oil increases friction and can cause expensive engine damage over time. If you spot any of these warning signs, do not wait. Motoro Cars is ASE-certified and AAA-approved, and our 33-point inspection catches problems early.
