Or else, what? What happens if you don't change your oil on time? Will your car explode? Probably not.
The effects of skipping an oil change may be slow to accumulate, but over the life of the car, missing changes will lead to more costly repairs, and reduce the long-term performance of your vehicle. In this video, you can see just how vital oil really is to every part of the engine.

Many drivers visit LCM Used Car Center for our incredible selection of used Subaru models in East Petersburg. A Subaru is not only capable, with standard all-wheel drive, it is also one of the safest cars on the road.
Later model-year vehicles, however, are even safer -- especially where seniors are concerned.

In keeping with the automaker's commitment to education, the Ford Motor Company Fund is bringing its Ford Driving Dreams program to help the students in Detroit, Michigan. The program aims to keep students in school and to promote reading at an early age. Since it launched in 2012, the program has served more than 75,000 students in California, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, Texas, and Panama. The Ford Fund, the automaker's philanthropic arm, has invested $161 million over the past 10 years in southeast Michigan, with over $20 million going to local...
The original "horseless carriages" of the 19th century had top speeds of around 10mph. Today, Bugatti claims the Bugatti Chiron is the fastest road car around. It is electronically limited to 261mph, and Bugatti won't say what its unlimited top speed is, yet.
But why is a sports car so much faster than yours? What exactly makes a vehicle fast?
While various factors, including wind resistance and gearing, make a difference, the fundamental answer is power-to-weight ratio. The more horsepower a car produces per pound of weight, the faster it will go. It's why the 155-horsepower Mazda Miata…

Things could have gone very badly for a pup at Bolivia's Rally De Santa Cruz last weekend. The stray wandered onto a live rally racing course, and was seen casually trotting along the track moments before a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was about to fly through.
Onlookers cried out in horror, but were helpless to rescue the dog -- rally cars reach speeds over 70mph, and the dog was on the other side of a blind corner. It would be impossible for…

Whether you're taking a trailer out camping, or towing a boat out to the lake, you'll want to check the towing capacity of your truck or SUV before hitching anything to it. Exceeding the payload or the tow rating of your vehicle is not only dangerous, it can cause your engine to overheat, and destroy your transmission.
Now, the skilled technicians at our auto repair center in East Petersburg would love to take more of your money, but you…

When you picture a sports car, the first questions on your mind are "how fast does it go? How much torque does it have?" Not, "how safe is it?"
It should be unsurprising then, that of the three iconic American muscle cars the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested, none came out on top.
The Ford Mustang earned a "good" rating in every category except for the small-overlap collision -- a significant lapse in safety considering small-overlap is

Celebrity scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson turned his attention toward the automotive industry in a recent tweet, but not away from the cosmos. In fact, as Tyson points out, many car names are surprisingly stellar, from the Buick Apollo, to the Chevy Equinox.
Who knew there were so many astronomy geeks naming cars?

Horsepower vs. Torque: What’s the Difference? https://t.co/rO47BdGEJl pic.twitter.com/kfYZ6Q8gIC

We just read over the article Car and Driver posted on torque and horsepower, and we think we can explain the difference... using ponies.
Imagine you have two little ponies -- one is a stout Shetland pony, and the other is a fine-featured miniature horse.
The sturdy Shetland pony is able to pull heavier carts than the miniature horse. If you needed to pull out a wheel that was stuck in the mud, you'd call on the Shetland…
