Well, that's the million-dollar question, now isn't it? The fact of the matter is, unless you're driving an electric car these days, any car, truck, or SUV you own is going to need an oil change at some point.
You see, your engine powers your vehicle, but it also generates quite a bit of heat. To mitigate that heat, and prevent contaminants and buildup from the combustion process from reaching critical levels in your engine, oil constantly circulates through it to transfer heat away from sensitive components and keep your engine clean and running efficiently.
However, just as you need to replace your vehicle's tires when they get worn down, the oil in your engine can get "worn down" with time and use. Only in this case, "worn down" can mean saturated with contaminants, viscous, and ultimately ineffective. If left unchecked, an engine without oil or an engine with spent oil will eventually break down, and trust us when we say that can be a costly problem to fix.
On the other hand, when you have the oil in your Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, or Jeep Brand vehicle replaced regularly, you'll enjoy better fuel efficiency, a quieter engine, and a lot fewer problems that require maintenance in the long run.
