What Can An Oil Life Monitor Do for My Vehicle?

If you have high mileage on your vehicle and struggle to remember oil changes, investing in a new GMC model with an Oil Life Monitor helps you maintain the health of your engine. Let’s take a closer look at how an Oil Life Monitor can benefit your vehicle.

Why Are Oil Changes Important?

Each engine consists of several moving parts that require adequate lubrication. Since these parts wear down over time, the chemical components in engine oil supply proper lubrication and ensure they work effectively and prevent damage from affecting other aspects of your vehicle.

What Is an Oil Life Monitor?

The Oil Life Monitor helps provide a realistic gauge to determine when to change your vehicle’s oil. Since every driver is different, GM engineers collect real-life data through powertrain testing to determine how temperature, load, and other factors impact oil life. This data helps create more efficient oil change intervals.

Optimized Intervals

Although your dashboard light will illuminate when you need an oil change, this technology adheres to pre-set mileage intervals. Following these intervals may work for some drivers, but others may need frequent oil changes depending on how often they drive. For example, drivers who regularly commute on the highway will need an oil change more often than those who use their vehicle a few times a week.
