Potential failure if neglected

Neglecting to change your oil according to the manufacturers recommended interval and oil grade is very bad. Short-term damage can be done when an engine that requires synthetic is using conventional engine oil. Long-Term damage can be done to any engine that has the engine oil changed overdue by sometimes as little as 1,500 miles each time. The short-term and long-term damage may not necessarily be of the same type. Short-term damage may consist of a ruined turbocharger due to a restricted oil passage from incorrect oil grade. Long-term damage may consist of scored piston walls, restricted passages and damaged seals/bearings due to carbon and metal particles suspended in the engine oil. Lack of lubrication due to decreased oil pressure from a clogged oil filter can ruin bearings and cause irreversible damage throughout the entire engine.
