The Risks of High Mileage Driving Without an Oil Change

Your Jeeps’ motor oil is designed to protect your engine parts from wear. Over time, your motor oil will become contaminated and need to be changed. It is recommended that conventional motor oil be changed every 3,000 miles. If you are using semi-synthetic motor oil, then it should be changed every 5,000. Those who opt for synthetic motor oil should have it changed every 7,500 miles. So what can go wrong if you choose to drive without changing your Jeep’s motor oil for an extended period. The answer is that there are a variety of problems that can affect the performance of the vehicle. Below is a list of what could go wrong.

Reduced Acceleration

The first issue that you may notice is that the vehicle will not perform as it used to. That’s because your engine will not be able to give you the optimum performance with dirty oil. One of the biggest issues that you may face is reduced acceleration. This could become a significant issue during highway driving.

Excessive Engine Wear

Your engine is one of the most expensive parts of your vehicle. With dirty oil, your engine will have to contend with excessive wear that can lead to costly repairs. It is not uncommon for some engine repairs to cost thousands of dollars. This is especially unfortunate since an oil change costs a fraction of that price.

Potential Engine Damage from Overheating

If you have ever been stuck on the side of the road with an overheated vehicle then you know that it can be a frustrating experience. With old oil in your Jeep, your engine will not be able to cool itself properly. This could lead to overheating in the engine and overall vehicle failure.

Vehicle May Blow a Gasket

You don’t want to blow a gasket while you are on the road. However, blowing a gasket is a real possibility if you go too long without an oil change. A blown gasket can lead to vehicle failure and costly repairs.
