Attention, drivers of Las Vegas: oil-change appointments are important. If you put off scheduling an oil change, the problem doesn't just go away. Instead, it lingers: old oil gums up your engine, reducing its efficiency and leaving you wondering whether you’ll even make it to your next destination, like a local restaurant or show.

Don't want to end up sweaty and car-less in the middle of the desert? There’s an easy fix: fresh oil keeps your engine running smoothly and extends the life of your automobile. To maximize the health of your engine's inner workings, you’ll want to start looking for a local oil-change shop every 5,000 miles or so.
