Oil changes are one of the most important things you can do to maintain your vehicle.  They help to protect the engine with fresh oil that lubricates and insulates engine parts.  This clean oil leads to a more efficient engine that wears out less and gets more miles for your money.

When to Schedule an Oil Change?

• When your vehicle tells you to
• When your oil is dark colored (dipstick test)
• When the oil is low (dipstick test)
• When your manufacturer tells you to
• When you’ve not had a change for some months

The best way to know when you should change your oil is with the dipstick test.  Other than that you should schedule an oil change when your manufacturer recommends it; just check your vehicle handbook.   Ignore the myths that you should change it every “3000 miles”, “5000 miles” or some other figure.  Every vehicle is different and either way mileage isn’t always the best indicator, as age plays a crucial role as well.

If you don’t drive many miles then you should still be scheduling an oil change at least once per year.  If you don’t the oil can thicken, congeal and become less effective at protecting the engine from friction and extreme temperatures, this is when performance starts to drop.

The Engine Oil That’s Right For Your Vehicle

Synthetic, conventional, high mileage.  You may have heard that one type of engine oil is better than another.  Again this is a myth since every vehicle works differently and everyone has their own driving style.  Always follow the manufacturer and use the engine oil recommended in the vehicle handbook.  

Most of the time conventional oil is best and premium oils are unnecessary.  If you are unsure and would like further assistance speak to one of our staff.
