No, oil is not a metal. Natural oils are organic mixtures, usually fluids. Synthetic oils may be aqueous solutions of a variety of organic chemicals

What happens when you don't change your engine oil?

The function of the oil is to protect from metal to metal contact. The oil will eventually shear and break down. This will then allow for metal to metal contact. If there is metal to metal contact, your engine temp. will increase and can warp parts, therefore permanently lowering efficiency of the engine ( and fuel), and or lead to more costly engine failures. If you have trouble remembering to change your oil regularly, I reccommend using a synthetic oil. Synthetics protect better and increase your oil change intervals.


Why should i check the oil on my vehicle?

Car engines rely on oil and oil pressure to keep metal from rubbing on metal. If oil levels drop below what's needed for the oil pump to provide oil pressure you will get metal-on-metal contact. This cause bearings to wear out and the engine to run hot. Pistons may seize in the cylinders. Massive failure and expensive repair.
