An oil and filter change involves draining out the old motor oil and replacing it with fresh, new motor oil. The oil filter also gets replaced at the same time. Changing your vehicle's oil is one of the most important things you can do to avoid bringing large bags of money to your mechanic later on. However, there's a lot of controversy about exactly when engine oil gets old and how often it should be replaced with new oil. Owner's manual recommendations for oil and filter changes vary from 3,000 to 10,000 miles. But for the vast majority, 5,000-mile oil changes will help your engine last to a ripe, old age

Oil contains additives that have the ability to neutralize acids. Over time, these additives get used up and stop being effective. Oil can absorb water, dust and combustion byproducts and also hold them in suspension. Eventually, the oil gets saturated with this stuff and can't absorb any more. Then that stuff remains in the engine and can cause corrosion. If you don't change  your cars oil and filter your engine won't last as long as it could. Oil serves many crucial functions, and clean oil performs those functions better than dirty oil. Oil is relatively cheap, and changing your oil every 5,000 miles policy against major repairs of your auto parts down the road.
