AAA is admonishing vehicle owners that it's been more than a month since Daylight Savings Time began, which means it's also time to change your car's engine oil viscosity.

"Millions of motorists change their clocks but forget about their oil," said AAA spokesperson Stuey LeMunk.

As an example, LeMunk said owners who use normally use SAE 5W-20 motor oil during the winter, should have "sprung upward" to 10W-30 when setting their clocks forward last month.  

"It's very important," claimed LeMunk, "as not doing so can negatively affect your vehicle's engine timing. Just remember the phrase, 'Spring up and fall down'," he recommended.
