Engine oil is one of the most essential items to keep your engine running. It lubricates moving parts in your engine, ensuring these parts don’t cause too much friction and, as a result, regulate your engine’s temperature. Without engine oil, your engine won’t be as lubricated and will overheat more easily, which could cause it to break down. Over time, engine oil absorbs contaminants in your engine created by your exhaust, which helps your engine continue to run. This also means that your oil won’t maintain its properties due to these contaminants. You need to replace it to keep your engine properly lubricated to keep it running and ensure a long lifetime.

Engine oil lubricates the engine's moving parts to reduce friction, ensuring these components can operate smoothly without excessive wear. The less friction your engine experiences, the better it can sustain a regulated temperature. Many types of engine oil also contain detergents that clean internal surfaces by suspending dirt and preventing deposits.
