Car Owners Say Routine Oil Changes Reduce Costly Repairs; Mechanics Agree

Car Owners Say Routine Oil Changes Reduce Costly Repairs; Mechanics Agree: "SEATTLE, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington drivers know the key step in preventing costly auto repairs, but they may be overlooking other crucial maintenance to prevent long-term engine damage, according to a PEMCO Insurance poll released today.

More than half of the drivers polled (53 percent) correctly identified regularly changing the engine oil and filter as the No. 1 way to avoid expensive vehicle repairs. Respondents chose oil changes as the single most important maintenance action over other routine practices such as regular tune-ups, changing air filters, and servicing the vehicle's transmission."
