Top 5 Reasons to Schedule Regular Oil Changes at Nucar Gorham

Oil changes are one of the simplest yet most important maintenance tasks to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Whether you’re commuting down RT16 to work, heading to Moose Brook State Park for a weekend hike, or gearing up for a snowy drive to Jericho Mountain State Park, clean oil is essential for engine health.

At Nucar Pre-Owned Superstore Gorham, we make oil changes quick, easy, and affordable. Here are five key reasons to stay on top of your oil change schedule.

1. Keeps Your Engine Running Smoothly

Your engine relies on clean oil to lubricate moving parts, reduce friction, and prevent overheating. Over time, oil breaks down and loses its effectiveness, leading to increased wear and tear. Regular oil changes help prevent costly engine repairs and ensure your vehicle is always ready for the road—whether you’re cruising through Berlin or tackling mountain roads in Pinkham Notch, or simply running errands around Gorham and stopping at Presby’s Market & Deli for some essentials.

2. Improves Fuel Efficiency

Did you know that clean oil can help you save money at the pump? Dirty or old oil thickens over time, making your engine work harder and burn more fuel. By sticking to a routine oil change schedule, you’ll keep your engine running efficiently and get the most miles out of every tank—perfect for long trips along US RT2 or daily drives to Shaw’s Supermarket for groceries.

3. Extends the Life of Your Engine

Think of an oil change as an investment in your car’s future. Routine oil and filter changes help remove dirt, sludge, and contaminants that can damage internal engine components. If you plan to keep your vehicle for years to come—or trade it in for a new ride at Nucar Gorham—regular maintenance will ensure your engine stays in peak condition, even when facing those challenging drives up to Wildcat Mountain Ski Area

4. Protects Against Harsh Weather Conditions

New Hampshire’s winters can be brutal, and cold temperatures can cause engine oil to thicken, reducing its ability to lubricate properly. That’s why it’s crucial to use the right type of oil for winter driving conditions. Whether you’re warming up your car before heading to Gorham Hardware for supplies or braving icy roads to the Medalist Arena for a youth hockey game, fresh oil helps keep your vehicle reliable when you need it most.

5. Prevents Costly Repairs

Skipping oil changes can lead to serious problems, including overheating, increased engine wear, and even complete engine failure. A routine oil change is a small expense compared to the high cost of major engine repairs. Keeping up with regular maintenance at Nucar Gorham ensures you avoid unexpected breakdowns—so you’re always ready for your next trip, whether it’s to the Gorham Historical Society or just down the road to the Androscoggin River for some fishing.
