OIL CHANGES

How often should you change your oil? In the past, cars typically needed an oil change every 3,000 miles, but modern lubricants now allow for a much longer interval between services. Some manufactures recommend changing your vehicles oil from 5,000 to 7,500 miles and even up to 15,000 miles if your car uses full-synthetic motor oil.

In many newer models, the weight of your car’s motor oil is printed on the cap where you add oil, and it is definitely listed in the maintenance section at the back of the owner’s manual. We always use the recommended weight and the proper oil required by your automaker. We also make sure that when we’re changing the oil in your vehicle, we use premium-grade oil filters and brand-name motor oil. We offer conventional motor oil, synthetic blend motor oil and full synthetic motor oil. Let us know if you prefer a specific brand or type.

Consistent oil changes will extend the life of your engine, providing your car with more value.

If you take your vehicle to the mechanic for regular oil changes, you will only help your vehicle maintain it’s vitality. Oil changes help to reduce and remove any excess dirt that can build-up in your engine from use. Sludge is also a common development in cars, and oil changes will completely remove it for a more efficient running engine. Basically, oil changes contribute to the cleanliness of your engine.
