It’s not uncommon to see older, high-mileage Mazda vehicles on the road, still running strong and providing reliability for their owners. We service many of these Mazdas here at Oxmoor Mazda in Louisville, KY. We recommend that drivers consider switching to high mileage engine oil as their vehicle ages to help maintain its optimal performance. Learn more about high mileage oil on this page, and then make an appointment for service online or by phone.
The primary goal of an oil change is to swap out old, dirty oil with fresh, new oil to allow for the best lubrication of your engine. But as your engine ages, it can become susceptible to oil leaks and sludge build-up, which can affect engine power and efficiency, and potentially lead to the need for bigger repairs. High mileage engine oil helps combat these problems by adding special additives and conditioners. These include seal swellers to help prevent leaks and cleaning agents to help keep your engine as clean as possible. While high mileage oil will not be a fix-all solution for aging engines, it can certainly help regulate its oil consumption and engine hygiene.
It’s a good idea to start considering a high mileage oil change after your odometer reaches 75,000 miles. If your engine is running smoothly and there are no signs of performance issues, you can probably still use synthetic or semi-synthetic oil. However, if you are experiencing oil leaks or noticing sluggish performance, high mileage oil may be a remedy. Oxmoor Mazda is here to help drivers maintain their vehicles for the long run with high mileage oil changes at our state-of-the-art facility in Louisville, KY. We use genuine OEM oil and filters and employ a team of certified service technicians to get the job done right.
