Why Regular Oil Changes Matter

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine. It keeps all the moving parts lubricated, reduces friction, and helps dissipate heat. Over time, however, oil breaks down and becomes dirty, reducing its effectiveness.

Neglecting oil changes can lead to:

Reduced fuel efficiency- Dirty oil forces your engine to work harder.
Increased engine wear- Lack of lubrication causes internal damage over time.
Engine overheating- Old oil can’t regulate heat properly, risking breakdowns.
Complete engine failure- Sludge buildup or lack of lubrication can seize your engine.

Helpful Oil Change Tips

Check Your Oil Monthly- Regular checks help catch low oil levels or contamination early.
Follow Your Manufacturer’s Interval- Every vehicle is different — check your owner’s manual for the right schedule.

Don’t Delay!- Putting off oil changes can lead to major repair costs down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How often should I change my oil?- This depends on the type of oil and your driving habits. Conventional oil typically requires changes every 3,000–5,000 miles. Full synthetic oils can often go 7,500–10,000 miles. Always follow your manufacturer’s recommendation.
What type of oil is best for my vehicle?- We’ll recommend the best oil based on your make, model, mileage, and driving conditions — whether that’s synthetic, blend, or high-mileage oil.
Can you reset my maintenance light?- Yes, we’ll reset your oil life indicator or maintenance reminder at the end of your service if your system allows it.
Is synthetic oil really worth it?- Yes — especially if you have a newer engine, drive in extreme temperatures, or want longer intervals between changes. It provides better protection and performance.
What happens if I skip an oil change?- Skipping oil changes causes your oil to break down and sludge to form. This can lead to reduced performance, overheating, or total engine failure over time.
Do I need to schedule an appointment?- While walk-ins are welcome, we recommend scheduling an appointment for faster service. You can call or book online.
How long does an oil change take?- Most oil changes are done in 20–30 minutes. If you’re due for additional maintenance, we’ll let you know ahead of time.
