When and how to change the oil in an engine with Valvoline oil

Back to Blog

The importance of a good engine oil

Valvoline engine oil is much more than just a lubricant: it protects, cleans, and extends the life of your engine. Proper maintenance and timely oil changes are key to ensuring optimal performance and durability for your engine.

With over 150 years of experience in lubrication, Valvoline is synonymous with quality, innovation, and advanced protection. That’s why more and more professionals and repair shops trust its products for all types of engines—from industrial vehicles to marine machinery.

When should you change your Valvoline oil?

The ideal time to change Valvoline oil depends on several factors: the type of machine, the conditions in which it operates, and the type of oil used.

In general:

  • Every 10,000–15,000 km if using a synthetic oil such as Valvoline 5W30.
  • Every 5,000-7,000 km if using semi-synthetic oil or if the vehicle is operating in demanding conditions (extreme temperatures or heavy loads, for example).
  • Once a year, even if the recommended mileage has not been reached, to prevent oil degradation.

In addition, it is always advisable to check the oil level and color from time to time. Dark oil or oil with metal residues is a sign that it has lost its lubricating properties and needs to be replaced.

How to change your oil with Valvoline, step by step

Performing the change correctly ensures maximum engine protection. These are the basic steps followed in professional workshops such as Talleres Nasio:

  1. Warm up the engine slightly for a few minutes to facilitate the drainage of used oil.
  2. Remove the oil pan plug and drain the old oil into a suitable container.
  3. Replace the oil filter, as it accumulates impurities and residues.
  4. Pour in the new Valvoline engine oil, using the amount and viscosity recommended by the engine manufacturer.
  5. Check the level with the dipstick and start the engine for a few seconds to ensure that the system is properly lubricated.
  6. Check for leaks and clean up any debris.

An oil change carried out with quality products and under the supervision of a specialist prevents premature wear and optimizes fuel consumption. That’s why we recommend you visit our workshop so that your boat’s engine is always in the best hands.
