Lahore’s driving environment is very different from ideal highway conditions. Heavy traffic, frequent stops, dust, and long idling hours put extra pressure on your car’s engine. This makes regular engine oil changes more important for Lahore drivers than many realize.
Engine oil lubricates internal components, reduces friction, controls temperature, and prevents wear. In congested areas like Defence Road, DHA, and Main Boulevard, oil degrades faster due to heat and dust contamination.
Most manufacturers recommend oil changes between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers, but Lahore’s conditions demand shorter intervals. For cars using conventional oil, changing oil every 4,000–5,000 km is safer. Semi-synthetic oils perform better and usually last around 5,000–6,500 km, while fully synthetic oils can go up to 7,000–8,000 km if driving habits are moderate.
Ignoring timely oil changes can cause reduced fuel efficiency, engine knocking, overheating, and long-term damage. If your engine feels rough, sounds louder, or oil looks dark and thick, it’s time for a change.
