The engine could overheat and either blow a gasket, seize up or warp (expensive) parts of your engine. Remember to get an oil change every 5,000 - 7,500 miles..

Are you having trouble starting your engine? There are many possible causes for this. Often, your vehicle's engine is to blame. It's essential to change your battery every few years. It can, however, indicate the demand for new oil if you're consistently having trouble starting up and your battery's okay.
Although automatic transmission fluid doesn't need changing as often as motor oil, it's usually best practice to change it periodically to prevent breakdown. Consult your owner's manual for the recommended service interval for your vehicle.
If your car's battery is three years old or more, consider coming to get it replaced as the chance of failure increases. Does yours need to be replaced?
