OIL CHANGE SERVICE
No matter what vehicle you drive, you should bring your car in every so often for an oil change. The frequency of which your vehicle should get an oil change can be found in your car’s maintenance schedule. The oil in your vehicle helps lubricate your engine’s many moving parts, but that oil breaks down over time, so it is crucial to get an oil change regularly.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I COME IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE SERVICE?
We know that you want to take good care of their cars, and a crucial way to do that is to get a regular oil change. Most cars can go up to 5,000 miles without needing an oil change. Although older vehicles may need an oil change every 3,000-4,000 miles, the changes in modern engine design and manufacturing has created the need for better-quality oil, which lasts longer before viscosity breakdown. In addition to the specific mileage intervals, we recommend all vehicles have the oil changed at least annually.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY VEHICLE NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE?
While following the recommendations above is a good guide to how often you should come in for an oil change service, there are several signs that your vehicle needs an immediate oil change. These include:
Increased engine noise.
Motor oil lubricates your engine so that all the parts work together smoothly. When the oil becomes thin, old, or poorly textured, you might hear the issue every time you drive.
More mileage than usual.
If you have recently gone on a long-distance road trip, you can anticipate bringing your vehicle in for an oil change sooner than usual.
Ticking sounds when starting.
When you start your vehicle, the engine immediately begins circulating oil. If the motor oil has an improper texture, this task may take more time and effort than it should.
